Parliament’s Select Committee on Finance has called for the merger of two companies, West Blue Consulting and Ghana Community Network Systems (GCNet) both in charge of transacting documents for trade and customs.

The Finance Committee that made the suggestion says that the mergers would increase the overall effectiveness of the ports in the country and reduce the stress that people would have to go through.

The members of the committee made the call when they paid a visit to technical partners of the Ghana National Single Window (GNSW) project, to abreast themselves of the company's operations which boosted the Ghana Revenue Authority’s revenue in 2016.

Chairman of the Committee, Dr. Assibey-Yeboah says the integration of both companies would facilitate the paperless state port that the country wants to attain.

Dr. Anthony Akoto Osei, Minister of Monitoring and Evaluation also supported the claim of merging both companies to achieving a paperless port saying, ‘It is what is best for the country’.

Ms. Valentina Mintah, Chief Executive Officer of West Blue Consulting, also said it’s plausible as all parties have established excellent system in place.

“All we need is to integrate the systems so they can talk to each other. In terms of paperless we already have the e-payment platform in place where everybody is sharing. We have the registration for a number of key agencies, GSA, FDA to ensure that we have that shared’’ she said.
