Mr. Mahama tendered his resignation after two years in office as managing director of the company having faced several controversies.
His resignation letter addressed to the board of the ECG gave two weeks notice citing personal reasons for the resignation and thanked the board for the working relationship.
But insider information indicated massive in-fighting over the control of key departments and operations of the ECG for which some elements serially undermined the authority of the MD.
His vision of building an incorruptible state company was said to have led to clashes with some internal stakeholders.
Mr Mahama’s fight against corruption and graft using digitalization tools in collaboration with the office of the Vice President was aid to have been badly received by the staff of the state company.

It will be recalled that the Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia in May 2024 exposed some ECG staff who deliberately undermined the government’s efforts to digitalize revenue collection processes.
Mr. Mahama leaves a legacy of a robust revenue collection drive at ECG as intense lobbying starts to replace him.
