A licensed Industrial and Organisational Psychologist, Razak Kojo Opoku, has suggested that the government and other relevant stakeholders should collaborate with the Online Marketing Company and Digital Service provider KGL Technology Limited to further enhance the country’s digitisation programme.
He is confident the move will help to “further strengthen the provision of digital services, e-commerce and the overall digitalisation project as championed by the government.”
According to a statement from Mr Kojo Opoku, KGL’s digital short code *959# has proven to be a very robust platform capable of providing other important digital services, apart from the usual business of generating revenue for the National Lottery Authority (NLA).
“The digital short code *959# has been well marketed and the brand has an outstanding base, with the potential for serving as a purpose vehicle for other services such as but not limited to the payment of water bills, through collaboration with Ghana Water Company Limited, payment of electricity bills, through collaboration with ECG, payment of cocoa farmers, through collaboration with COCOBOD as well as the registration of TIN, aimed at ensuring voluntary tax compliance, which would be done through collaboration with the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA),” it said.
Commendation
The statement further commended the government, the Economic Management Team, the Bank of Ghana, Ghana Interbank Payment and Settlement Systems (GhIPPS), the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Communications, the National Communications Authority (NCA), the telecommunication companies such as MTN, Vodafone and AirtelTigo, and KGL Technology Limited on their tremendously efforts to enhance the digitization in the country.
“Ghana has the baseline infrastructure such as Real Time Gross Settlement (RTGs), Automated Teller Machines (ATMs), POS Switches coupled with Mobile Money Interoperability, all aimed at achieving the digitalization of the Ghanaian economy,” it said.
