The KGL Group has reaffirmed its commitment to tax compliance and national development by presenting GH¢153 million in corporate income tax to the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA).
The presentation, held at the GRA Head Office in Accra, forms part of the Group’s broader commitment to responsible corporate citizenship and sustainable economic growth. It also highlights the increasing role of indigenous Ghanaian businesses in supporting government revenue mobilisation efforts.
Speaking at the ceremony, Executive Chairman of KGL Group, Alex Apau Dadey, emphasised that the company views tax compliance as a core responsibility rather than a burden.

“At KGL, we create value and share that value responsibly. Paying tax is not a burden; it is our contribution from what we have achieved as a business operating in this country. It is how we give back to the community that makes our success possible,” he stated.
Mr. Dadey disclosed that in 2025 alone, the Group made a total of GH¢350 million in direct payments to the state. Out of this amount, GH¢180 million was remitted to the National Lottery Authority, underscoring the company’s strong compliance culture and its dedication to meeting statutory obligations.
He noted that KGL Group’s consistent contributions demonstrate the growing capacity of local enterprises to drive Ghana’s development agenda while competing effectively within the global business environment.
According to him, “Ghanaian companies have the discipline, integrity, and capability to support national development while maintaining high standards of corporate governance.”
Beyond its tax contributions, KGL Group continues to invest significantly in social impact initiatives through the KGL Foundation. The Foundation has committed over GH¢40 million to various community development projects across the country.
These initiatives span multiple sectors, including healthcare, sports, and education. Among the notable projects are the KGL–EVE Medical Centre in Kumasi and the Alex Dadey University of Ghana Alumni Centre. The Group has also played a key role in supporting national sports, including sponsorship of the Black Stars and the Regional U-17 Colts Championship.
The ceremony was facilitated by Dr. Martin Kolbil Yamborigya, who commended the company for its exemplary tax compliance and contribution to national development.
He stressed that such commitments from corporate entities are critical in strengthening domestic revenue mobilisation and enabling the government to deliver on key development priorities.
Dr. Yamborigya further noted that consistent tax compliance by leading companies like KGL helps ensure that public resources are available to drive infrastructure development, social services, and economic transformation.
KGL Group also used the occasion to express appreciation to President John Dramani Mahama for his continued advocacy for local ownership and the growth of indigenous enterprises.
The company indicated that the President’s call for a shift from transactional participation to transformational partnerships aligns with its long-term vision. It reaffirmed its readiness to support policies and initiatives that empower Ghanaian businesses, strengthen the private sector, and create sustainable value for the country.
