Samuel Dubik Mahama, the Managing Director of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), has confirmed that former President John Dramani Mahama has been paying his own electricity bills.
It may be recalled that the former President in an exclusive interview with TV3 disclosed that apart from government providing his monthly pension, he pays all other bills including electricity himself.
Reacting to this in an interview on Peace FM's morning show 'Kokrokoo', the ECG MD confirmed to Kwami Sefa Kayi, host of the show that Mahama takes care of his own electricity bills.
"We collate the bills of the former Presidents and take them to the Chief of Staff to pay. Former President Kufour’s bills were with us, we've given them to the Chief of Staff and she has worked on them. We also had former President John Mahama’s own…we got in touch with him, and we realized that he has already been paying his own bills…so moving forward, we will discuss with him so that his bills will be absorbed" he indicated.
According to him, the mistake is "from my office...we have now put structures in place after a very comprehensive conversation with the Chief of Staff. She told us her peace of mind and told us exactly what we have to do. If we were doing our work well, this would not have happened in the first place".
