The Accra East Region of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has embarked on a two-week nationwide revenue mobilisation exercise to recover GH¢ 200 million in debts owed by customers in the region.
The special exercise which began on Monday will end on Friday June 27, this year.
The Regional General Manager, Bismark Otoo, who disclosed this to the media in Accra on Monday during a staff briefing indicated that the specified amount does not represent the total debt owed by customers in the region.
However, the goal for the two-week initiative, he said, was to recover at least GH¢ 200 million, while the region will continue its regular efforts to collect the remaining debts from customers.
Mr Otoo mentioned that the staff in the region have been organised into teams across all operational districts, including Makola, Roman Ridge, Teshie, Mampong, Dodowa, Kwabenya, Legon, and Adenta, to engage with all types of customers who have outstanding electricity bills.
He clarified that the customers encompass residential, commercial, industrial, as well as various ministries, departments, and agencies. “We are pursuing all our customers who have debts, and no customer will be overlooked.”
The Regional Manager further noted that while the teams would be actively working in the field, there will also be back-office staff available to handle any customer inquiries or issues that may arise.
