Former Managing Director of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), Samuel Dubik Mahama, has vehemently denied allegations that he was consulted by the committee investigating the disappearance of over 1,300 ECG containers at the Tema Port.

Expressing his disappointment and dismay over the committee’s handling of the case, Mahama emphasized that he was never afforded the opportunity to share his side of the story.

Mahama’s response comes on the heels of the arrest of 12 Chinese nationals and a Ghanaian by National Security operatives in connection with the missing containers.

The Minister for Energy and Green Transition, John Jinapor, has been tasked with compiling a comprehensive report on the matter.

The committee’s investigation entailed interviewing ECG directors and managers, uncovering possible theft and the alleged auctioning of ECG containers.

Speaking on Asempa FM on Wednesday, April 2, 2025, Mahama categorically dismissed allegations that he had fled the country or avoided 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.”

Mahama further reiterated,

“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.” He expressed his discontent, stating, “I was never contacted as part of the investigation of the committee. I didn’t receive any letter from any committee.”

Mahama emphasized his willingness to cooperate, saying, “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.”
