She also mentioned that the Ghana Shippers\u2019 Authority had made some significant achievement in transit trade facilitation through the signing of MOUs with Ghana\u2019s landlocked neighbours such as Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso with numerous benefits including employment generation, revenue for the Government etc. The Authority has also collaborated with the Borderless Alliance to establish an E-platform and a mobile line to receive complaints from transit operators.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The IGP, Mr. Asante-Apeatu thanked the delegation for the visit and proposed that to effectively help address the high number of police checkpoints, especially from the Techiman-Paga stretch of the corridor where attacks and harassments are prevalent,a system could&nbsp; be put in place where Police officers would validate the documents of transit trucks before they are loaded at the Ports. This, he assured will allow easy movement along the corridor because other officers will be obliged to comply with the validation done. Present at the meeting were Mr. Bright Gowonu Borderless Alliance, Mr. Joe Agbaga, Ghana Institute of Freight forwarders, COP Christian Yohonu Director General of Police Operations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A delegation from the Transit Shipper Committee led by the Deputy Chief Executive of the Ghana Shippers\u2019 Authority, Ms Sylvia Asana Dauda-Owu&nbsp;
