Many Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) and State Owned Enterprises (SOEs) are responsible for the bulk of this debt.
As a result, the ECG has announced to embark on a disconnection exercise in the quest to mobilise revenue. This commences on Monday, March 20, 2023. The exercise is expected to last until Thursday, April 20, 2023.

The plan is to overtake the agencies that owe money to ECG starting on March 20, 2023, and those who fail to pay their bills would suffer the same punishment as the Ministry of Energy, which had its power cut off until they paid all of their outstanding payments.
The Managing Director, Mr. Samuel Dubik Mahama Esq., visited all of the ECG operational areas to educate the personnel on how to approach revenue mobilization and to always respect the customer.
Mr. Dubik Mahama also told the workers to act like ECG is a business and not some form of charity.
It is expected that nearly every member of the ECG staff, from senior management to junior officers, will be involved. This exercise is aimed at helping recover all of the owed funds.
The ECG hopes that at the conclusion of the exercise, all of the debt will be paid off. The For of you do now want any issues then settle your bills before ECG embarks on the disconnection Exercise.
