CEPS inaugurates data service centre
for traders
Accra, Nov. 29, Ghanadot/GNA - The Customs, Exercise and
Preventive Service (CEPS) on Thursday inaugurated an
electronic system that would enable it to acquire and manage
electronic information submitted to it by traders and other
stakeholders about their businesses.
The computerized system would help to minimise human
interference in the preparation and submissions of trade
documentation and also maximise revenue for socio-economic
development.
In a message read on his behalf, Mr. Emmanuel Doku,
Commissioner for CEPS, said the system would help to ensure
security, maintain the true and complete contents of trade
documents and also retain their originality and correctness
from their first source.
"The intent is to secure these documents from being tempered
with or altered in any unauthorised manner", he said.
Mr Doku said traders and stakeholders could also use the
system to check on the status of their submissions and the
timely clearance of goods and services.
"In no time CEPS would be provided with additional
electronic tools which would facilitate both the compliance
and verification of processes and documentation."
Mr George Kweku Ofori, President of Ghana Union of Traders’
Association (GUTA), thanked CEPS for the provision of the
system at the Association's headquarters and called on
members to make good use of it since it was free of charge.
He appealed to CEPS for the provision of more service points
at other centres of the Association.
