Ghana Post must go modern - Minister
Accra, Dec. 13, Ghanadot/GNA - Mr Fred Opare Ansah, Deputy
Communications Minister has tasked the management of the
Ghana Post (GP) to change its business strategy to conform
to current communications trends.
That, he said, would enable the GP to stay abreast and get
ahead of the competition in the industry and to provide more
efficient services to clients.
Mr. Ansah was interacting with the management of
the GP at its head office in Accra on Thursday when he
visited the establishment to acquaint himself with working
conditions and challenges facing it.
He however, commended the GP for performing creditably till
date despite the numerous challenges facing its operations,
but expressed the need for it to constantly review and
improve on its quality of service particularly in monitoring
and the security of mails.
The Deputy Minister also exhorted the institution to take
action to expand its services to other parts of the country.
He assured the management that government was putting in the
necessary measures to revamp the entity to improve its
delivery system.
Mr Kofi Duah Adonteng, Post Master General told the Minister
that innovations on the technological scene, particularly
the use of mobile phones and the internet, was threatening
the work of the GP because such innovations made it easier
for people to communicate more conveniently and faster than
using the post.
He said the GP was also being challenged by other
competitors and that the bane of the GP was its "old
industry approach."
He appealed to government to give the GP the necessary
support to make it a viable entity.
The Minister toured all the departments of the GP.
