ECG Has Given Up On Finding Stolen Vehicles- MD

The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has given up on finding the company’s stolen vehicles , its Managing Director, Samuel Dubik Mahama told Parliament.

Three vehicles including a Toyota Landcruiser belonging to the company were stolen by gunmen under strange circumstances in the Ashanti region and have since not been located.

According to the Managing Director who was updating the Public Accounts Committee of Parliament on progress of investigation into the incident said his outfit has been assisting the Police Service to locate and retrieve the vehicles.

He indicated that, the Director of Legal Affairs pf the company made contact with the Police about four months ago to ascertain the status of the investigation.

“We have reported the matter to the police. We have assisted the police in their investigations. They are going to wrap up and then advise us accordingly.”

“Where I sit as the Managing Director, I’ll just say I am not looking forward to receiving those vehicles again. I’m just waiting for the final report of the Ghana Police Service on the matter,” he said.

Describing to the Committee how the vehicles got stolen, Mr Samuel Dubik Mahama said “the full investigative report is not here, but it was taken from the person at gunpoint …at different times, not all at the same time.”

Explaining further on whether it was coincidental for all the three vehicles to be snatched at gunpoint, Mr Mahama said, “It didn’t happen on the same day, it happened around different times. There’s time-space in different locations. I think two of them were at gunpoint, and one, the vehicle was parked at home.”

Mr Mahama however noted that none of the drivers involved in the separate robbery incidents got injured.

On the whereabout of the drivers involved, Mr Mahama was certain that the drivers are still employees of the company but are not assigned to drive.
