The Minister for Energy and Green Transition, Dr. John Abdulai Jinapor, has issued a firm directive to the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) to suspend all non-essential procurements and revise its procurement strategy to avoid future logistical and financial setbacks.
In an interview with 3News.com, the Spokesperson and Head of Communications for the Ministry, Richmond Rockson noted that the directive follows revelations from an investigative committee that 2,637 containers consigned to ECG were unaccounted for, resulting in massive demurrage charges and operational delays.
The containers, many of which exceeded the 60-day port clearance window, were found scattered across multiple terminals at the Tema Port.
Dr. Jinapor attributed the crisis to ECG’s current procurement method, where items are consigned directly to the company without being cleared.

To prevent a recurrence, he has instructed that all future items procured for ECG must be cleared and delivered by the suppliers themselves before being handed over to the company.
