The IMANI statement to Mr. Kyeremanten describes as “curious” fact that the Ministry of Trade has not published revenue projections from implementing UNI-PASS (the new company) because it has not published such reviews to justify the signing of the UNI-PASS agreement. “Our advice to government will be to shelve UNI-PASS until its promoters have demonstrated value far and above existing systems. In fact, UNI-PASS has been sued by West Blue for intellectual property breaches- essentially copying their software illegally. “According to your ministry, the introduction of UNI-PASS is expected to make the Ghana National Single Window (GNSW) programme more comprehensive with a clearance management system, a cargo management system, an information management system and an administration system. However, all these functions are available on the existing systems (GCNet and West Blue platforms).
