Minister for the Interior, Henry Quartey, has said that in a rapidly advancing digital world, Ghana can no longer afford lengthy bureaucratic processes that frustrate rather than facilitate.<\/strong><\/p>\nHe said this while launching an Automated Fire Permit and Certification Management System for the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS), transitioning from a manual to a digital platform.<\/p>\n
This new system streamlines the acquisition of fire permits and certificates, replacing the manual process.<\/p>\n
Mr Quartey emphasised that the digital transition marks a significant step forward, replacing the manual system with a more efficient digitised process. \u201cIn a rapidly advancing digital world, Ghana can no longer afford lengthy bureaucratic processes that frustrate rather than facilitate,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
The Minister urged Fire Officers to fully support the system\u2019s implementation and sustainability. He also commended the Chief Fire Officer and his team for enhancing fire prevention and protection efforts.<\/p>\n
He also acknowledged the support of the Ministry of Trade and Industry and its stakeholders for supporting the Ghana National Fire Service.<\/p>\n
A speech read on behalf of the Minister for Trade and Industry, K. T. Hammond, emphasised fire safety\u2019s crucial role in fostering a thriving business environment. \u201cProtecting industries from fire hazards, investments, and uninterrupted economic activities is vital,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
Chief Fire Officer, Julius Kuunuor highlighted the system as a key milestone in GNFS\u2019s digitisation journey, expressing gratitude to stakeholders for their support.<\/p>\n
The Automated Fire Permit and Certification Management System demonstrates Ghana\u2019s commitment to prioritising fire safety and fostering a more efficient business environment<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
