Accra, Feb. 13, GNA - The Postal and Courier Services Regulatory Commission on Monday announced to the general public and users of courier services in particular that it had revoked the licences of 19 courier companies with effect from January 1, 2012.

In a statement issued in Accra by Mr Samuel Kojo Intsiaba, Executive Secretary of the Commission, said the decision to revoke the licences followed the failure of the affected companies to comply with the conditions of licence in accordance with Section 21 of the Postal and Courier Services Regulatory Commission Act, 2003 (Act 649).

"For the avoidance of doubt, the affected companies, either failed to utilise their licences, defaulted in payment of licence renewal fees or were placed under liquidation," it added.
