Accra: A former Deputy Upper West Regional Minister, Abu Kansangbata, has called for proper coordination and integration in the implementation of the government's AI Publican initiative to avoid duplication and ensure value for money. In a Facebook post shared on his official page, Kansangbata urged authorities to align the new initiative with already existing systems and structures to improve efficiency and maximise results.
According to Ghana Web, Kansangbata emphasised the need for the AI Publican initiative introduced by the Government of Ghana in collaboration with STL-Amandi to be integrated with the existing structures. His comments come amid growing public discussions about government-led digital transformation projects aimed at improving revenue mobilisation and economic management.
Kansangbata also expressed hope that the initiative would not face challenges similar to those experienced by SLM Ghana, while commending ongoing efforts to modernise revenue collection systems in the country. He highlighted the importance of ensuring that this policy does not encounter the same issues previously faced, demonstrating his support for efforts to transform and increase revenue mobilisation.
Beyond the policy concerns, Kansangbata reflected on Ghana's broader economic direction, arguing that the country has the resources and human capital needed to reduce dependence on foreign financial support. He stressed that effective leadership and prudent management of national resources could help Ghana build a stronger and more self-reliant economy.
He concluded by asserting that with the right leadership, Ghana could achieve economic independence without excessive borrowing from international financial institutions, highlighting the country's potential to support future generations.
