THE Ghana Community Network Services Limited (GCNet), an ICT-based customs clearing solutions provider, has presented 15 laptops and their accessories to the Customs divisions of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) to help them to improve on their delivery.
The presentation formed part of the company’s annual capacity building programme for its partners aimed at upgrading their skills in the field.
Making the presentation, General Manager of GCNet, Mr Emmanuel Darko, said the presentation was a response to a request by Customs for laptops to “enable them work efficiently in their core mandate.”
He said the company aimed at making the operations of its partners highly efficient and convenient as both parties sought to maximise revenue collection for the state.
GCNet last year presented 47 computers to personnel at the Tema port and 42 to those at the Kotoka International Airport. It also conducted capacity building training for personnel that man the various collection points.
Mr Darko said “more computers will come but those would be for agencies for the electronic processing of permits in the clearance process.”
The Commissioner, in Charge of the Customs divisions of the GRA, Major General Carl Modey, thanked the GCNet for the kind gesture and for “fulfilling the promise in record time.
He further called on the company to sustain the private-public partnership (PPP) between the GRA and GCNet, saying the capacity building programmes for customs officials had helped them to increase efficiency among the personnel.
“We encourage you to go further in your duties to us and the state so that at the end we both would be better off,” he added.
The commissioner pledged that the laptops would be put to good use saying “they will be distributed to positions and not personalities so that if the officers are no more holding that position, we can transfer the machine to the relevant person.”
