The Deputy Managing Director of Ghana Post, Stephen Kingsley Bennieh has announced the implementation of a centralized registration system, Integrated Courier and Logistics Management System (iCOLMS-GH) for all courier businesses.
Speaking on Starr FM’s Morning Show, Morning Star on Wednesday, April 22, 2026, he explained that the move forms part of efforts to sanitize the domestic delivery sector.
iCOLMS-GH aims at regulating the courier sector, enhancing transparency, and improving consumer protection.
He intimated that the initiative also aims at swaying away from informal operations toward a regulated environment that ensures accountability and consumer protection.
Under the new regulatory framework, individuals and companies wishing to operate in the courier space are now required to register through a centralized platform.
Bennieh revealed that prospective operators would be required to pay an initial registration fee, of between GHC 500 and GHC 700 as registration fee before they will be granted a formal license.
“They will be required to pay an initial fee to register, and it’s around—I think the registration is 500 or 700 cedis to register and be granted the license to operate…,” he said
He added that riders who will be registered under Ghana Post will also enjoy certain benefits. The licenses are also be subject to an annual renewal process to maintain their legal status.
“So that now, in the performance of their duties, if there are any issues, you have—at least you can have a corporate headquarters to report to them, and then some measures can be put in place, or if there’s any sanction, if there’s any reprimand, or any remedies for the person who requested for the service, then we can be able to…,” he said.
