CEPS ready to meet new
challenges
Kpetoe (V/R), Aug. 3, Ghanadot/GNA- Mr
Emmanul Doku, Commissioner of the Customs, Excise and
Preventive Service (CEPS), said the Service was poised to
meet challenges in customs administration to optimize
performance to create a favourable environment for business
and investment in the country.
He said CEPS was reviewing its operational systems,
realigning its procedures and introducing new concepts to
ensure a more efficient and transparent tax system to
respond to these challenges.
Mr Doku was speaking at the passing-out parade of some 126
recruits at the CEPS Academy at Kpetoe in the Volta Region
at the weekend.
The recruits had undergone a six-month intensive basic
paramilitary and customs training.
They were taken through vigorous military drills, exercises,
weapon handling, as well as the rudiments of customs
operations, theories, regimes, laws, finance, ethics, code
of conduct and the mission and vision of the Service.
Mr Doku tasked the new recruits to make use of skills and
knowledge acquired during the training to enable them to
discharge their duties professional as Customs officers.
He urged them to abide by the Service’s code of conduct and
to be committed to CEPS, which aims at providing efficient,
fair, transparent and timely services to clients.
Mr Doku advised the recruits to eschew indiscipline and
misconduct and cautioned them that they could be dismissed
for omissions and commissions.
Awards were given to deserving recruits and Solomom Padi
Kodjoe was adjudged the best all round recruit.
