Government is receiving more than $3 million in additional daily revenue following the rollout of the Publican AI system at the ports.
This was revealed by the Commissioner-General of the Ghana Revenue Authority, Anthony Kwasi Sarpong, during an interview on Channel One TV on Monday, April 13.
According to him, the artificial intelligence system is improving the accuracy of import declarations and helping to uncover previously undetected revenue gaps.
He stated, “Since the commencement of Publican AI, we’re seeing that for every declaration that is made, about 75%, Publican says is generally okay. About 25%, Publican says lets watch it. Within that context, we’re seeing an average uptick of revenue potential that we couldn’t have seen of about $3 million a day on average. $3 million a day and more.”
He explained that although the system was introduced in February 2026, it was not deployed for the full duration of the month, which limited potential gains.
Mr Sarpong noted that if implemented from the start of the month, the country could have realised significantly higher revenues, adding, “That translates to almost $1 billion a month. For the month of February 2026, we deployed Publican. If we had deployed it from day one, we would have earned $3 million a day.”
