The Vice President indicated Government’s determination to stay the digital course and modernise the Ghanaian economy despite the challenges when he gave the opening address at the 4th Edition of the MOBEX Africa ICT Expo in Accra on Wednesday 13th June, 2018. 

“While we are on a mission to digitize Ghana, we have to be very aware that new systems will only be as good as the people who implement them. New systems disrupt the status quo and therefore one can expect push back from beneficiaries of the status quo. Our experience with the implementation of the paperless system at the ports is a case in point” Dr. Bawumia pointed out. 

“(But) Significant progress has been made. Data from GCNET indicates that over 40% of containers are cleared within 24 hours and about 70% of containers are cleared within 72 hours. While this an improvement, it is still not good enough for us.”
