NLA
The Concerned Voters’ Movement (CVM), says they fully support the National Lottery Authority (NLA) resolution to launch its own platform in November.
As part of CVM demands to the Board and management of NLA, they have agreed to establish their own self-controlled, self-regulated, and [ads1]self-monitor platform to maximized revenue generation to the country.
According to CVM the move which is to be launched in November 2017 is very necessary as the NLA has absolutely on control on the current online platform, the machines point of sales Terminal, Posts and the draws.
Adding that Lots Service Ghana Limited and simnet Ghana Limited are in charge of these technical services a situation which is causing financial loses to the country.
“From 2009 to 2016, virtually all the monies that were paid to the NLA Technical Service Providers such as Lots Services Ghana Limited and Simnet Ghana Limited were over and above monies paid by the NLA to the Consolidated Fund.”
“In 2016 alone, NLA paid both Lots Services Ghana Limited and Simnet Ghana Limited an amount of GHS 27, 318, 264. 62 as against a paltry amount of GHS 19, 000, 000 paid by the NLA to the Consolidated Fund around 29th September 2017. NLA in its current situation is just working to the benefit of the Technical Service Providers such as Lots Services Ghana Limited and Simnet Ghana Limited. This is seriously unacceptable.”
In a press statement signed by the president of the group, Razak Kojo Opoku and copied to Awake News, the group commends the new Board and Management of NLA led by Mr Kofi Osei Ameyaw for taking the bold decision to establish, operate, and monitor their own Platform.
