The KGL Group of Companies has reaffirmed its commitment to responsible corporate citizenship and national development with the payment of GHS 153 million in corporate income tax to the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA).
The presentation, held at the GRA Head Office in Accra, highlights the Group’s consistent contribution to Ghana’s economic growth and underscores its belief that tax compliance goes beyond legal obligation to a shared duty in building a resilient and sustainable economy.
Speaking at the event, Executive Chairman of KGL Group, Alex Apau Dadey, emphasised the company’s philosophy of creating and sharing value responsibly.
“At KGL, we create value and share it responsibly. Paying tax is not a burden; it is our contribution from what we have achieved as a business in this country. It is how we give back to the community that supports our success,” he stated.
He further disclosed that in 2025 alone, the Group made total direct payments of GHS 350 million to the state, including GHS 180 million remitted to the National Lottery Authority (NLA).
Mr. Dadey also highlighted the growing role of indigenous Ghanaian businesses in national development, noting that local companies possess the discipline, integrity, and capacity to compete globally while supporting the country’s development agenda.
Beyond its tax contributions, KGL Group continues to make significant social investments through the KGL Foundation, which has committed over GHS 40 million to community development initiatives.
The Group has also supported major national programmes, including sponsorship of the senior national football team, the Black Stars, and the Regional U-17 Colts Championship.
Additionally, KGL has contributed to key infrastructure projects such as the KGL–EVE Medical Centre in Kumasi and the Alex Dadey University of Ghana Alumni Centre, among other impactful initiatives nationwide.
The ceremony was facilitated by Dr. Martin Kolbil Yamborigya, whose leadership in strengthening domestic revenue mobilisation was acknowledged as instrumental to the engagement.
In his remarks, he commended KGL Group for its exemplary compliance, stressing that such contributions are essential for government to deliver on its development priorities and improve the lives of citizens.
KGL Group also expressed appreciation to President John Dramani Mahama for his continued advocacy for local ownership and the growth of indigenous enterprises. The Group noted that the President’s call for a shift from transactional participation to transformational partnerships aligns with its vision of building a stronger, self-reliant economy.
Reaffirming its position, KGL Group pledged to continue supporting policies and initiatives that empower Ghanaian businesses and drive sustainable national development.
