The Ghana National Chamber of Licensed Banker to Banker Lotto Operators and Agents (GNCLBBLOA) has declared its readiness to support banker to banker operators unable to meet the National Lottery Authority new regulations.
[contextly_sidebar id=”IxLJNwZVHMiA680lb0mXaVIga922i1my”]The NLA as part of its strategy to modernize its operations has undertaken new developments including getting Banker to Banker Lotto Operators, Agents and Writers licensed under a PPP arrangement and implementing an e-kiosk project.
While most banker-to-banker operators have lamented that they are unable to pay the required license fees to meet the NLA’s new requirement, the Chamber of License Banker to Banker Operators says it will assist the operators pay the required fees.
“Our doors are open to lotto operators, agents and writers who are ready to work with us due to their inability to pay the license fees approved by the Board of NLA. We will assist such operators, agents and writers to pay their license fees to the NLA and subsequently work for us,” GNCLBBLOA said.
In a statement copied to citinewsroom.com, commended the National Lottery Authority and its Director-General, Kofi Osei-Ameyaw for the move to licence Banker to Banker operations which they said must equally be allowed to operate in the country’s lottery sector.
Kofi Osei-Ameyaw in a Citi News interview in 2017 said, the NLA is ready to work together with all persons who are ready to come under the umbrella of the Authority by issuing them with licenses, and providing them with Point of Sale Terminals (POSTs) to operate.
This he said will generate more revenue for the State for national development; as other lottery operators pay no taxes to the government thus depriving the state of the much-needed revenue.
He further stated that NLA is not out to ruin anyone’s business but is open to work with all private lotto operators who are willing to join NLA. That notwithstanding, he also served notice that all operators who continue to operate illegally will face the law as stipulated in ACT 722.
