The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) will start a significant disconnection exercise on Monday, March 20, in an effort to raise money.
From September 2022 to February 2023, the company is owed more than GHS 5 billion, according to the managing director, Mr. Samuel Dubik Mahama, Esq.
The SOEs and MDAs are responsible for the bulk of this debt.
The numerous organizations that owe the energy company have prompted this exercise.
Many other Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) and State Owned Enterprises (SOEs) that owe ECG enormous sums of money will suffer the same fate, causing the power retailer to launch a massive revenue mobilization exercise from Monday, March 20, 2023, to Thursday, April 20, 2023.
The plan is to overtake these agencies starting on March 20, 2023, and those who refuse to pay their bill right away will suffer the same punishment as the Ministry of Energy, which had its power cut off until they paid all of their outstanding bills.
M.D., Mr. Dubik Mahama visited all of the ECG operational areas to educate the staff on how to approach revenue mobilization and to always respect the customer.
He also reminded the staff that everyone needs to start acting like ECG is a business and not a charity. At the conclusion of the exercise, it is anticipated that all of the debt will be paid off.
To recover all the money owed to them, nearly every member of the ECG staff—from senior management to junior officers—is participating in the exercise.
