The Member of Parliament for Asene Akroso Manso in the Eastern Region, George Kwame Aboagye, has called for stricter penalties to curb the theft of Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) containers at Ghana's ports.

He believes that harsher consequences for businesses or individuals caught stealing or mishandling these containers would serve as a deterrent and promote responsible conduct.

Speaking to MyNewsGh.com reporter Hajia Asana Gordon, Mr.

Aboagye described the disappearance of ECG containers at the ports as a serious issue requiring immediate intervention and long-term structural reforms to prevent recurrence. "A combination of better security, stronger internal controls, collaboration with law enforcement, and greater transparency can go a long way in addressing the root causes of the problem," he stated.
