Former ECG MD Dubik Mahama assisting with investigations, caution statement taken – Energy Ministry PRO

Former ECG MD Samuel Dubik Mahama

The former Managing Director of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), Samuel Dubik Mahama, has been invited by national security and had his caution statement taken, as investigations continue into the discovery of 2,637 unaccounted-for containers consigned to ECG at the Tema Port.

This was confirmed by Richmond Rockson, the Spokesperson and Head of Communications for the Ministry of Energy and Green Transition, during an interview with TV3 on Tuesday, May 27.

Mr. Rockson further disclosed that some ECG staff have been asked to step aside to allow for an unfettered investigation into how the containers—originally reported to be 1,300—remained unaccounted for and accumulated significant demurrage costs.

The containers, according to a multi-agency investigative committee comprising National Security, the Ministry of Transport, GPHA, and Customs, were found across various port terminals, including Meridian Port Services and GPHA terminals.

of April 30, 2025, 2,583 containers remain outstanding.

The probe was triggered by inconsistencies in ECG’s procurement and port clearance processes, where items were consigned directly to the company without arrangements for timely clearance.

The Attorney-General’s Office is expected to provide legal guidance on the next steps.

Meanwhile, the Minister for Energy and Green Transition, Dr. John Abdulai Jinapor, has assured the public that any individuals found culpable will be held accountable.

The investigation has reignited calls for sweeping reforms in ECG’s procurement practices and stronger oversight mechanisms.
