Accra, June 4, Ghanadot - The Ghana Printers and
Paper Converters Association says, the local printing
industry will provide a fully guaranteed security if they
are given the contract of printing phone cards by the
various mobile phone companies.
Reacting to concerns about the security and capacity raised
by telecommunication companies following a proposal by
President Mills that phone cards should be printed locally,
Mr James Appiah-Breko, the president of the association said
security could be vouched for.
"We
have a track record in providing impeccable security
processes. This will also be increased to meet the phone
companies standard", he assured.
The
president said, some of their members had been able to
installed adequate security measures and have been able to
handle sophisticated security features and documents in
different products.
He assures that,
members of the Printers association have installed state of
the art equipment and they are ready for sophisticated
printing works.
"Companies like
Innolink, Buck Press and Check Point Security Limited are
printing WAEC examination questions, ballot papers and
cheque books and they always provide 100 per cent security",
he revealed.
Mr Appiah Berko said,
if phone cards are printed locally, it would create more
jobs for Ghanaians and help improve upon the socio-economic
development of the country.
He
however called on the government to address the issue of
pre-production taxes on inputs, saying once that was dealt
with, local prices would be competitive to foreign prices.
