ECG was in a good and healthy position when I left office – Dubik Mahama

Samuel Dubik Mahama, the former Managing Director of ECG, spoke about his time at the company. He stated that ECG was strong and healthy when he left.

Mr. Mahama reflected on significant progress in digitalisation and operational reforms. He believes ECG was on a positive path during his tenure.

A key achievement was completing the company's digitalisation process. "Last year, around this time, we went cashless," he said. Revenue started coming in as a result.

However, Mr. Mahama acknowledged challenges during his leadership. A major issue was the lack of investment in long-term projects.

Many projects had been stalled due to insufficient funding and materials. The ECG board recognized this problem and took action to resolve it.

Despite these difficulties, Mr. Mahama felt proud of stabilizing the company’s future. Before leaving, he noted that the board decided to ring-fence part of daily revenue.

"This decision helped service lines for improvements," he remarked.

At the JoyNews National Dialogue on April 10, Mr. Mahama discussed tax challenges faced by ECG. The board sought innovative solutions to address these issues with the government.

Despite these achievements, Mr. Mahama chose not to participate in the final interim report due to a lack of consultation. "I wasn’t given a hearing," he explained.
