Among these agencies are Ghana Post, Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL), Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA), Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) and Ghana Police Service (GPS).
Huawei Technologies Limited handed the ultra modern state of the art service centre to the Ministry of Communications to facilitate the delivery of Government services to citizens under the e-Government programme.
Speaking at the handing over ceremony in Accra, the Minister of Communications, Edward Omane Boamah, was happy to take delivery of the One-Stop Service Centre as part of the first phase of the project.
He said the second phase would commence next to support the deployment of full data centre services and Long Term Evolution (LTE) sites for the functioning of the e-Government network.
“The facility is a well decorated service hall with up to twenty service counters, office equipment and administrative offices. You would also find LED screen display systems, broadcasting and surveillance systems,” he added.
Boamah added that the LTE technology had been deployed to facilitate data transmission at 4th Generation speed levels.
This, he said, would ensure that the service centre provides one-stop services for all Ghanaians with fast and professional business operations by the agencies that will be located here.
The minister was excited about the timely delivery of the project by Huawei Technologies and the deployment of latest ICT technology.
He said this was a demonstration of what the e-Government Platform Project would provide when completed.
“With the completion and delivery to Government of this One-Stop Service Centre, it is our expectation that the Government Service Agencies and I must also add private sector organizations, will take utmost advantage of the robust ICT ecosystem and conduct operations online most of the time,” Boamah said.
