Increment of port charges should be measured to promote business continuity –Mr. Kyei to Gov’t
By Jackline Favour Asassey Listen to article
The President of Association of Customs House Agents Ghana, Mr. Yaw Kyei is calling on government to review port charges and make it flexible.
He observes the current charges affect the operations of importers, client freight forwarders, consumers which results in a decline in clearing of goods at the port.
Mr. Kyei said this in an interview with Jackline Favour Asassey, host of PORT AND MARITIME AGENDA on Ashaiman TV.
‘’I will wish that the government would respond positively to some of these things discussed not giving new way to keep increasing their charges from time to time but then it should be measured, it should be controlled’’.
