The Executive Chairman of KGL Group, Alex Dadey, has announced that the company will pay GHS150 million in corporate income tax to the Ghana Revenue Authority before the end of April, underscoring its commitment to responsible corporate citizenship.

Mr Dadey made the announcement at the Kwahu Business Forum 2026 in the Eastern Region, where he spoke on the theme “Good Corporate Citizenship in Building Sustainable African Businesses — The KGL Case Study.”

The forum attracted high-profile participants, including President John Dramani Mahama, Chief of Staff Julius Debrah, Minister for Trade and Agribusiness Elizabeth Agyare, Presidential Economic Advisor Seth Terkper, and CEO of Ghana EXIM Bank, Sylvester Mensah, among other business leaders.

In his address, Mr Dadey highlighted the importance of taxation in national development, describing it as a vital driver of infrastructure, social services, and long-term economic growth.

“KGL is committed not only to meeting its tax obligations but to doing so in a way that reflects our broader responsibility to national development,” he said.

He emphasised that tax compliance goes beyond a legal requirement, describing it as a shared responsibility necessary for building a resilient and prosperous economy.

Mr Dadey also called for fairness and transparency within the tax system, urging businesses to honour their obligations. He noted that KGL has consistently filed its annual returns on time over the past five years and has undergone comprehensive audits by the tax authority.

At the same time, he cautioned against tax policies that could hinder business growth, stressing the need for a balanced approach that supports innovation, entrepreneurship, and job creation.

The planned GHS150 million payment has been widely viewed as a strong demonstration of corporate accountability within Ghana’s private sector.

In his remarks, President Mahama commended Mr Dadey’s leadership, noting that he is “walking the talk” on corporate responsibility, and encouraged other businesses to emulate the example. He added that he looks forward to seeing the payment made at the Ghana Revenue Authority.

Participants at the forum also praised KGL’s approach, describing it as a benchmark for corporate conduct in Ghana and across Africa.
