A new charge for tracking cargo at the nation's ports is facing renewed opposition. This fee was previously considered but not implemented.
Documents suggest the scheme is now being pushed by the Ministry of Transport. This differs from earlier attempts which involved the Ministry of Trade, Agribusiness and Industry.
The trade and logistics sector has expressed worry over the re-emergence of this fee. They fear it will lead to higher expenses for handling goods.
Businesses rely on predictable costs to operate efficiently. Any new charges could affect the prices of imported and exported goods.
Officials have not yet provided details on the new fee's structure or when it might take effect.
The Ghana Revenue Authority is responsible for collecting such fees at the ports.
Further information will be released following official announcements from the Ministry of Transport.
