ECG applauds Dzata Cement, GPHA, and others for paying off debt on schedule.
Speaking after week two of the month-long nationwide exercise, Laila Abubakari, the external communications manager of the ECG, said “the firms have lived up to expectation”.
ECG began a nationwide revenue mobilisation exercise on Monday (20 March) to recover payment for all unpaid customer bills. The money owed amounts to over GHC5.7 billion.
Stop calling me
Meanwhile, the managing director of the ECG has served notice to defaulting customers and organisations that it will soon start naming and shaming to further its revenue mobilisation drive.
Appearing on the Asaase Breakfast Show on Wednesday (22 March), Samuel Mahama, said people calling to intervene on behalf of defaulters should desist.
He said “the phone calls should stop because, at the end of the day, you have to do the right thing. Let’s not politicise this.
“As for the calls, they keep coming because we have realised that we are so quick to point out when it comes to state agencies that haven’t paid.
“So, next week if they don’t pick up the slack, we are going to do that name and shame for the people of Ghana to see who the major culprits are.”
