Kevin Taylor exposes Afenyo-Markin ECG missing containers scandal 2025 following public criticism of the member of parliament’s silence.
Kevin Taylor has ignited a firestorm with new allegations against Alexander Afenyo-Markin, the Minority Leader and former Board Chairman of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG). In a scathing episode of Loud Silence Media, Taylor accused Afenyo-Markin of turning a blind eye to the disappearance of over 1,300 containers of critical equipment at Tema Port during his tenure, claiming the containers were sold off in a corrupt scheme involving ECG insiders and port officials.
Kevin Taylor Alleges Afenyo-Markin’s Role in ECG Missing Containers Scandal
Taylor presented what he alleges are internal ECG documents from 2023, showing that Afenyo-Markin was informed of discrepancies in container records but failed to act. This revelation contradicts Afenyo-Markin’s recent parliamentary statements, where he blamed customs officials for the theft and called for a bipartisan probe. “He knew about this as Board Chair—why the silence then?” Taylor challenged, suggesting Afenyo-Markin’s current stance is a bid to dodge accountability for his oversight failures.
The scandal has already seen 12 Chinese nationals and one Ghanaian arrested for allegedly smelting stolen ECG cables for export, with two companies implicated in the operation. Taylor’s sources within ECG claim Afenyo-Markin was aware of the illicit dealings but hesitated to intervene, possibly due to political pressures. “This isn’t just mismanagement; it’s a deliberate act that has crippled ECG’s operations,” Taylor asserted, calling for a thorough investigation into Afenyo-Markin’s role during his time as Board Chair.
The exposé has sparked outrage across Ghana, with citizens demanding Afenyo-Markin’s resignation and greater transparency in the energy sector. Afenyo-Markin has not yet responded to Taylor’s allegations, but his earlier advocacy for systemic reform now faces intense scrutiny. As the investigation into the missing containers unfolds, Taylor’s claims could have far-reaching implications for both Afenyo-Markin’s political career and the future of ECG’s governance.
