A top official at the Ghana Presidency has broken his silence on the disappearance of over 1,300 containers belonging to the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), calling for the immediate arrest of three former officials allegedly implicated in the scandal.
Mustapha Gbande, Deputy Director in charge of Operations at the Presidency, identified the trio as Alexander Afenyo-Markin, former Board Chairman of ECG; Matthew Opoku Prempeh, former Energy Minister; and Samuel Dubik Mahama, former CEO of ECG.
In an exclusive interview with Citi FM’s Eyewitness News on Monday, Gbande lambasted Afenyo-Markin, saying, “The Board Chairman, Afenyo-Markin now wants to run away from responsibility, and it is in the interest of the country for him to be arrested immediately.”
Gbande further emphasized the need for swift action, stating, “I am calling for the immediate arrest of Afenyo-Markin, Samuel Dubik Mahama, and Matthew Opoku Prempeh because we cannot continue to have these instances of corruption, and it is time for us to take action.”
The controversy surrounding the missing containers has sparked widespread outrage, with many Ghanaians demanding accountability and transparency in the management of ECG resources.
