The outgoing National Democratic Congress (NDC) government has
reportedly extended its contract with Subah Infosolutions.
Subah, which is one of the leading IT solution providers in revenue collection,
ICT, data management, healthcare, banking, among others, has been granted the
extension to continue monitoring revenues from the telecommunication companies
on behalf of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA), but it is not clear when the
contract would expire.
A letter signed by the Commissioner-General of GRA George Blankson
and sent to the telecommunication companies asked them to “Continue granting of
access to your physical network nodes pursuant to the Communications Service
Tax (Amendment), Act, 2013 (Act 864).”
“This has reference to a letter with reference number
MoF/RPD/GRA/016 dated 11th November, 2016 from the Hon. Minister of Finance on
the above subject,” the letter said, adding that “we wish to inform you that
Subah Infosolutions Ghana Limited has been granted approval to continue its
role of monitoring revenue from the telecommunication companies on behalf of
the Ghana Revenue Authority.”
“Further to the above, we wish to request that you continue to grant
access to Messrs Subah Infosolutions Ghana Limited to your physical network
nodes in accordance with the provisions of the Communications Service Tax
(Amendment) Act, 2013 (Act 864).”
Subah has developed a platform for SIM-Box Fraud Detection Service which
enables mobile operators to track down and eliminate SIM Boxes from the networks
in real-time.
According to the IT firm, it utilizes a data feed to collect
real-time usage data for each IMSI in the network, which is used to quickly
identify offending SIMS.
