Shai-Osudoku District Assembly launches mechanised billing system

The new system With the new mechanised billing system, the DCE said the assembly invested in tablets and recruited data collectors who would be using an application on a tablet which will transfer information from the field to the assembly's dashboard, where verification and validation would be done before migrating into the database for mechanisation and printing of bills for business operating permit and property rates, as well as temporal structures.

Briefing the media on the new billing system at the Shai-Osudoku District Assembly in Dodowa, the District Chief Executive (DCE) Ignatius Godfred Dordoe noted with concern that the billing system inherited by the Shai-Osudoku District Assembly was outdated, unreliable, weak, and incoherent to rely and had denied the assembly the revenue needed to meet the district's developmental needs."As an assembly, management thought through what we could do to create an efficient and effective system that could generate the needed revenue, end low mobilisation, and help accelerate development projects in the district; hence the introduction of the mechanised billing system, Mr Dordoe explained.
