Former Managing Director of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), Samuel Dubik Mahama, has denied allegations that he was engaged by the committee investigating the disappearance of over 1,300 ECG containers at the Tema Port.
Mahama expressed disappointment with the committee’s approach, emphasizing that he was not given a chance to present his side of the story.

His remarks follow the arrest of 12 Chinese nationals and a Ghanaian by National Security operatives in connection with the missing containers. Meanwhile, the Minister for Energy and Green Transition, John Jinapor, has been tasked with compiling a detailed report on the issue.

The committee’s inquiry involved questioning ECG directors and managers, revealing potential theft and the alleged auctioning of ECG containers. However, speaking on Asempa FM on Wednesday, April 2, 2025, Mahama refuted claims that he had left the country to evade scrutiny.

“Since this container issue came up, I have received several calls from some staff members of ECG, inquiring why I have not come to defend myself. Today, I want to clarify, since I resigned as the MD of ECG, I have not gone anywhere.“There were reports that I had absconded from the country and gone into hiding. I can say for a fact that I have been in this country.

The pain I feel now is what the committee has done to me.“I was never contacted as part of the investigation of the committee. I didn’t receive any letter from any committee.
“If the committee had contacted me or spoken to me, I would have given out all the information I have because I only came in to serve Ghana. I worked for two years and four months. My records are there. The company hasn’t seen this kind of growth within this period,” he stated.Source:Dailymailgh.com
