The Aflao sector Commander of the Customs, Excise and Preventive Service (CEPS), Mr Emmanuel Impraim, has underscored the need for state agencies to generate income internally to cushion them from the shocks of the global economic depression.
He predicted difficult times ahead in view of the credit crunch in the United States of America, Europe and developed countries, hence the need to re-strategise to achieve targets.
Mr Impraim said this when he addressed the end-of-year and awards dinner for staff and clients at the Aflao border post last weekend.
Mr Mathias Afenyo Abitih was adjudged the overall best worker of the command for last year.
Mr Impraim announced that the Aflao sector exceeded targets by collecting GH¢47.3 million last year as against GH¢44.3 million the previous year.
He saluted the staff for their efforts at mobilising revenue for the country and urged them to avoid negative practices that would tarnish the name of the service.
In an address read on his behalf, the Commissioner of CEPS, Mr Emmanuel Doku, said despite the global economic turbulence, the performance of CEPS had been excellent, adding that Ghana could therefore pride itself in the sub-region.
