Former Managing Director of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), Samuel Dubik Mahama, has distanced himself from the controversy surrounding the disappearance of over 1,300 ECG containers at the Tema Port.

Speaking on the Citi Breakfast Show, Mahama clarified that the containers were never under ECG's custody, making it unfair to hold the company accountable for their disappearance. "The containers were never in the custody of the ECG.

If they were in ECG's custody, then you can hold ECG responsible, but this is the case that they were still under the port authorities, and so I am all for whatever investigations there will be and I am ready to sit with whoever to give my side of the story," he stated.

The disappearance of the containers has prompted an investigation, shedding light on several irregularities within ECG's procurement processes.
