The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) began a five-day statewide revenue mobilization drive yesterday, May 29. The exercise will come to a conclusion On June 2nd.
The exercise will target “all categories of customers in arrears, including State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs), and will be monitored by special teams that will apprehend and prosecute customers who attempt to interfere with the exercise, and/or undertake illegal self-reconnection after disconnection,” according to a statement from ECG.
In accordance with this, the Company stated that “ECG shall operate with a lean staff pool who will provide essential services to customers during the revenue mobilisation period to enable total participation by top management and staff.”
Because of this, ECG urged “all customers in arrears to pay their bills now to avoid disconnection and payment of reconnection fees.”
The Company started a month-long drive that lasted from March through April.
Samuel Mahama, the company’s managing director, claims that during its previous revenue mobilization push, they were able to recover about Gh3.1 billion out of the total Gh5.7 billion in debt that consumers held.
