Some of the new vehicles
GHANA POST yesterday unveiled a total of 73 vehicles – 15 trucks; eight (8) pickups and 50 motorbikes – to aid in the discharge of their service delivery to the public.
The vehicles would be distributed to the company’s offices across the country to ensure quality timely services from its outlets nationwide.
At a presentation ceremony, held on its premises in Accra on Monday, Managing Director of Ghana Post, Bice Osei Kuffuor indicated that management is determined to change the narrative of financial depression in the company by working smart to make Ghana Post the preferred choice for parcel delivery and courier services in the country.
However, “standing in the way of our ambition is the lack of adequate resources and corporate culture, and identity that would drive the business,” as he observed, during his first 100 days in office hardworking staff of Ghana Post, who genuinely wanted to work but lacked the needed tools to perform their duties.
The new vehicles, therefore, “will augment and strengthen our resolve to deliver world-class services to clients.”
Ghana Post, he stressed, “is ready and poised to do big business. Government, ministries, agencies and the general public, let us patronise Ghana Post. This is a clarion call, because Ghana Post is poised and ready for action, and Ghana Post is your own.”
Delivering the keynote address, Minister for Communications and Digitalisation, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, charged the board and management to transform Ghana Post into a profitable self-sustaining company to satisfy employees with enhanced conditions of service, and to make it the logistics company of choice in the country for its customers.
She said the unveiling of the fleet of vehicles is testament that the new board and management are working hard to strategically position the company to improve on its service delivery in the country and beyond.
She, therefore, pleaded with the board, management, and staff to focus on maintenance culture, security and customer service in handling the fleet.
“Our maintenance culture as a people has always been a weak point, and a source of great concern for everybody. The motorbikes, pickups and trucks will only serve their full purpose if we maintain a high level of discipline in the maintenance of the fleet,” she advised.
