Ghana Post to launch jubilee stamps
Kumasi, Feb 19, GNA - Ghana Post (GP) will launch specially
designed philatelic stamps on March five in commemoration of
the country's Golden Jubilee independence celebration.
Mr. Yaw Addo-Larbi, an official of the company, told the
Ghana News Agency (GNA) that the stamps highlight Ghana's
greatness and achievements and are not only meant for
posting of letters but could also serve as precious
souvenirs or relics of Ghana's 50th Golden Jubilee
independence anniversary celebration.
According to Mr Addo-Larbi, the new stamps would attract
normal charges.
He explained that recent increases in post charges had
become necessary due to the rising cost in the company's
operations both home and abroad.
These include the cost of transporting local mails, lifting
of parcels by international airlines, among others.
He said GP had plans to computerize operations at its
counters to improve efficiency and also minimise waiting
time of customers.
Mr. Addo-Larbi said more branches would be opened while the
number of letterboxes would also be increased to meet rising
demands.
