“The investigative team never contacted me, but my name was mentioned in the report. Meanwhile, I have not gone anywhere and won’t go anywhere, so what was the rationale behind that?” he quizzed.

“If they wanted to do a thorough investigation, they should have called me. I am around, and I would have worked with the committee if they had reached out to me,” he stated.

The former ECG MD also shared his concerns over the ease with which missing containers could be tracked. According to him, locating the containers should have been straightforward using their respective container numbers.

“If you input the container number, you can easily locate where the container is. Let’s make sure we address the container issue properly,” he said, underscoring the importance of properly investigating the logistics involved.

Mahama further expressed his disappointment that the investigation lacked direct engagement with him and other key players who could have contributed to the inquiry. He insisted that a more comprehensive investigation would have involved speaking to all relevant individuals, including him.

“We are all humans serving the country. If they wanted a holistic job, they should have spoken to me directly. Why would I not subject myself to interrogation if indeed I was contacted? But they didn’t call me. I would have gladly cooperated,” he bemoaned.

The investigation centers around containers containing essential equipment for ECG operations that have gone missing. Allegations of procurement issues and potential misconduct within the company have surfaced, with reports suggesting that some officials within ECG and the government were aware of the situation but failed to act.
