Future of ECG not threatened, says MD
Ghanaians have expressed mixed feelings on the activities of the utility company especially on the issues of its financials
The managing director of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), Samuel Mahama has said the future of the company is not threatened in any way.
Mahama said the company is currently putting in place the right infrastructure to secure its future.
Ghanaians have expressed mixed feelings on the activities of the utility company especially on the issues of its financials.
But speaking on the Asaase Breakfast Show on Wednesday (22 March), the managing director said, “It’s [the future of the ECG] not threatened if we do the right thing and we’re doing the right thing. We are changing our future now and so everybody must help.”
Revenue mobilisation
ECG on Monday began a nationwide revenue mobilisation exercise to recover all unpaid bills amounting to about GHC5.7 billion from its customers.
Mahama said it will sustain its nationwide revenue mobilisation exercise to rake in more revenue for the company.
“This exercise is one that we will continue to do at probably the tail end of every month,” he said.
“It will not just include the prepaid [metres] but also the post-paid [meters] to identify all illegal connections for the right thing to be done,” Mahama added
The exercise is expected to end 20 April 2023.
This massive revenue mobilisation exercise is expected to focus on all categories of customers in arrears including state-owned enterprises (SOEs), and will be monitored by special teams who will apprehend and prosecute customers who attempt to interfere with the exercise, and also those who undertake illegal self-reconnection after disconnection.
