Managing Director of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), Samuel Dubik Masubir Mahama expressed his reluctance to attend public functions because of the ongoing disruption that power outages in different communities cause.

Samuel Dubik revealed that he receives numerous calls and invitations into his home from people seeking explanations for the persistent power outages, some of which are attributed to the exhaustion of ECG prepaid credits rather than genuine electricity issues.

“I was telling my father recently that now I hardly attend public functions, I don’t go to church because when there is a lights out, everyone comes looking for me. Some are not genuinely lights out but just their ECG prepaid exhausting,” Samuel Dubik stated in an interview on Peace FM.

During the same interview, Samuel Dubik highlighted the significant growth in ECG app users since he assumed office in 2022, noting a remarkable increase from 250,000 to 3.5 million registered users.

He acknowledged the challenges faced by consumers, particularly the recent spikes in billing, attributing them to ongoing reforms within ECG.

"We accept blame for the current spikes in billing our consumers; this is a result of the current reform we are undertaking," stated Samuel Dubik as he shed light on the company's efforts to modernize its operations."

Samuel Dubik has therefore entreated Ghanaians to be patient as there are ongoing works to restore the power company's operations back to normal.
