On the occasion of the International day of Customs the exposés presented stressed on partnership for efficiency.
Custom Officers nationwide have celebrated the International day of the customs which activities marking this day were launched about a week ago. During the event celebrated in Douala, exposés were presented.
Mr Nji George on his paper stressed on the need of partnership which the customs have adopted, quoting the theme of this year’s event: Customs and Business: Improving Performance thorough Partnership, to be the watch word for the entire year 2010.
He added that the World Custom Organisation counts a lot on this principle to remove institutional bottle necks of customs administration. He said they seek to eliminate the old system where the custom officer was the landlord and the business man on the other hand seeking to evade custom dues in order to make profit.
The theme he said puts custom administration in Cameroon on a comfortable stand because they had started making institutional reforms, one of which is the Open Door Nature of Policies. Through the policy they seek to bring stakeholders closer to them so that they can talk better and understand each other. The administration he said has stressed its arm on the problematic areas and signed a memorandum of understanding with SCDP, Bankers, CAMRAIL, Civil Aviation which will ensure fluidity in custom revenue.
In another exposé presented, by George Metuga, he spoke on the Night of Partnership which he said was to reinforce partnership, conviviality, resolve certain problems, thank partners for attitude which custom alone would not have achieved and compensate partners especially enterprises which have yielded a lot through out the year.
Certain measures too he said were outline such as a revision of internal text like the Sydonia, custom taxes, training of personnel and a number which customers can call free of charge in a case of fraud or need of information.
