The government has been urged to collaborate with Digital Service provider, KGL Technology Limited to enhance its digitalization Programme. 
 
Effective collaboration between KGL Technology Limited and the government through the Economic Management Team, Ministries of Finance, Communications and Digitalization, and other allied organizations according to the founder of Concerned Voters Movement, Razak Kojo Opoku, would further strengthen the provision of digital services, e-commerce and the overall digitalization project. 
 
"We would like to recommend to Government and other relevant stakeholders that, one of the practical ways to further enhance the digitalization project of Government would be through the collaboration with KGL Technology Limited, a licensed online marketing company and digital service provider responsible for the operation of the digital short code *959#."
 
He explained that the *959# has proven to be a very robust platform capable of providing other important digital services apart from the usual business of generating revenue for the National Lottery Authority (NLA).
 
Mr Opoku argued in a statement that the digital short code *959# has been well marketed and that the brand has an outstanding base, with the potential for serving as a purpose vehicle for other services. 
 
These services he said includes payment of Water Bills through collaboration with Ghana Water Company Limited;  Payment of Electricity Bills through collaboration with ECG; Payment of Cocoa Farmers through collaboration with Cocobod and registration of TIN aimed at ensuring Voluntary Tax Compliance to be done with collaboration with the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA).
 
He insists that Ghana has the baseline infrastructure such as Real Time Gross Settlement (RTGs), Automated Teller Machines (ATMs), POS Switches coupled with Mobile Money Interoperability, all aimed at achieving the digitalization of the Ghanaian economy.
