Monty Mobile has come to the rescue of Comium by committing to knock off all arrears the crisis-gripped company owes.
Monty Mobile is the new investor of Comium and officials announced at a news conference on Wednesday, the investor has now committed to pay off the nearly 70 million dalasis in license and other fees.
“As we speak now, the investor in the midst of us now just texted me and said if PURA is willing to lift the suspension, they’re going to pay everything now,” Lamin Drammeh, Comium’s director of technical told reporters on Wednesday.
Comium had earlier on on Wednesday issued a statement expressing surprise of its suspension by PURA even amid what the company said was ‘dues settlement’ and ‘promising’ negotiations.
“This surprising news came after thorough positive meetings that were held between Comium new management and PURA, in which Comium and its new international investor showed a sign of goodwill by paying the amount of 14,000,000 Dalasi of its gross dues, and also expressed its determination to pay out the remaining amount, without even relating this payment to its due receivable of 21,000,000 Dalasi from Gamtel,” Comium had said in a statement.
Comium’s staff burst into cheers after their technical director made the announcement of the company’s investor committing to settle the company’s arrears.
Comium officials used the news conference to call PURA to lift the suspension on the company.
