Hence the delay in the clearing of consignments at the port.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUpon establishing these facts, the MoF coordinated with the MoH, GRA, Ghana Ports and Harbour Authority, NIB and other governmental agencies came together to ensure that the situation was resolved as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGoing forward to ensure that such an urgency does not occur, an inter-governmental committee is being set up comprising of representatives of MoF, MoH, Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority, and GRA.
