The Registrar General’s Department (RGD) has disclosed that its revenue
has increased by about 50% within three years of introducing an online
portal.
The RGD in 2014 introduced the online registration of businesses with
the main aim of minimizing face to face business transactions and stop
corruption.
But the system only picked up this year (2017) after the Department
begun
flashing out the manual registration process to be solely replaced
by the online registration.
In an interview with Citi Business News, the Head of IT at the
Registrar General’s Department, Doris Ampadu-Ameyaw was hopeful of
further increasing revenue gains through the online portal.
She adds that the system has been made operational across board and
thus very accessible without necessarily walking to the RGD office.
“Now that the portal is available everywhere it has widened our market
scope; sometimes people are not willing to register their business
because of the distance or because of accessibility of Registrar
General. Now it is accessible anywhere, the scope has widened and people
are registering their business and because of that revenue is
increasing” she said.
“Percentagewise, I will say it has increased by 50 percent” she added.
