The Minister of Energy and Green Transition, John Abdulai Jinapor, has inaugurated a five-member committee to investigate the cause of over 2,500 uncleared containers procured by the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) and left at the port.

The locked-up containers, linked to ex-ECG Managing Director Samuel Dubik Mahama, which contain critical materials purchased under the previous administration, have accrued demurrage charges amounting to an alarming GH¢1.5 billion.

Claims from the ECG's Procurement department are said to contain certain consumables.

Some of the purchases done, according to The Herald's insiders, could last the next 20 years.
