Minister for Energy and Green Transition, John Abdulai Jinapor has established a committee to look into procurements made by the Electricity Company of Ghana under the Akufo-Addo administration.

The energy minister said there's reason to believe that the company has been engaging in what he says are "frivolous procurements." He disclosed on TV3's Hot Issues on February 16, 2025 that about 3000 containers belonging to the ECG have been stacked at the ports which he said will cost the company about GHS 1.5 billion in terms of demurrage. "It's all because they are engaged in what I call very frivolous procurements.

Now, they have about 3000 containers stacked at the ports generating demurrage of about GHS 1.5 billion, that is very unacceptable.

Some of the things they've procured will last them ten years, some will even expire in five years. "So we've commissioned a committee to investigate ECG's procurements and the cost of these containers stacked at the ports the committee is doing a very good job," he said.
