However, the Commissioner reiterated the government readiness towards improving the internally generated revenue, through hard work and development of technology at control posts to monitor truck movements at the borders, which he noted would assist the government to ascertain the total number of trucks that made use of the state’s borders.
He maintained that the government is proposing to review tariffs paid at the control posts because the fee is long overdue for review.
