Digitalization Programme of Government: Making a Valid and Solid Case for KGL Technology Limited




 Digitalization Programme of Government: Making a Valid and Solid Case for KGL Technology Limited


The Government of Ghana through 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 a licensed Online Marketing Company and Digital Service provider known as KGL Technology Limited have done tremendously well to enhance the digitalization Programme   of the Government. 


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.


However, we would like to recommend to Government and other relevant stakeholders that, one of the practical ways to further enhance the digitalization project of Government would be through the collaboration with KGL Technology Limited, a licensed online marketing company and digital service provider responsible for the operation of the digital short code *959#.


The *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:

1. Payment of Water Bills through collaboration with Ghana Water Company Limited.


2. Payment of Electricity Bills through collaboration with ECG.


3. Payment of Cocoa Farmers through collaboration with Cocobod. 


4. Registration of TIN aimed at ensuring Voluntary Tax Compliance. This would be done through collaboration with the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA).


We believe that, the effective collaboration between KGL Technology Limited and Government of Ghana through the Economic Management Team, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Communications and Digitalization, and other organizations such as the ECG, Cocobod, Ghana Water Company Limited, Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) etc., would help to further strengthen the provision of digital services, e-commerce and the overall digitalization project as championed by the  Government of Ghana. 


... Signed....

The the Assin Obobakokrowa D/A Basic School has not seen any major rehabilitation since its establishment in 1970s. Parents and residents in and around the community are appealing for urgent assistance due to the deteriorating condition of their classroom blocks .  The school's infrastructure has become unsafe, forcing pupils to learn under dire circumstances. Parts of the aluminum roofing sheets are rusting away, while their remains hang loosely on the tiny erected concrete pillars. Class sessions end abruptly whenever the clouds gather.  “Our roof is ripping off. And when it rains, it leaks into our classroom, so we have to end classes.  “When it leaks, our books get wet and we are not able...

  NPP 2024 Elections Defeat: Assin Central Presented A Weak Parliamentary Candidate ...Constituents Reveals. The New Patriotic Party's (NPP) staggering defeat in the 2024 general election has prompted a nationwide introspection, as the party seeks to understand the underlying causes of its loss. One of the most shocking losses was the Assin Central seat, which had been a stronghold for the NPP since 2000 under the leadership of Kennedy Agyapong.

To gain a deeper understanding of the reasons behind this defeat, independent media personalities engaged with residents in the area, gathering their thoughts and opinions on the matter. The majority of those interviewed attributed the loss to the  unappealing posture of the 2024 NPP candidate for Assin Central, Godfred Nti Anewu, who struggled ...
