Government must ensure a transparent investigation into missing ECG containers – IMANI

IMANI Africa has called on the government to ensure a transparent investigation into the missing containers belonging to the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG).

IMANI Africa also wants the government to implement strict financial controls within the Energy Ministry and explore alternative funding mechanisms to maintain essential projects.

Without decisive action, IMANI said, the energy sector’s instability could have long-term consequences on Ghana’s economic growth and business environment.

In a report, IMANI said in a report titled  “Criticality Analysis of Key Economic Issues – March 24 – 28, 2025” that “The controversy surrounding the missing equipment and budget cuts may erode public trust in the ministry’s ability to manage resources effectively, prompting calls for greater oversight and transparency.

“If the missing equipment and budget constraints lead to delays in power supply improvements, businesses and households could face more frequent outages, affecting productivity and daily activities.”

Over the past months, concerns have been raised regarding the disappearance or delay in clearing vital electrical equipment meant for national power distribution.

It has emerged that the National Security Council Secretariat formally requested assistance from the Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority (GPHA) to evacuate 706 containers belonging to the ECG.
