On my return to the country last month, one of my pieces of luggage was brought directly to me by an attendant (it did not come through the conveyor belt) and I still do not know how the guy identified me as the owner. After handing it over, he asked for "something small." I showed him a stack of foreign bills I had on me and we both agreed that it was too much to give as a tip.

You know what? The guy shamelessly offered me his MoMo number and pleaded with me not to forget him when I changed some to cedis.

I thought that was the end of it until I got to the car park where, two uniformed ladies (I don't even know where they belong) approached me and the older one, who appeared to be in her forties, first complained about the warm weather to me (as if it was my fault) then requested money shamelessly to get a cold drink; I politely told her that I had no cedis on me but surprisingly, she offered me her MoMo number and asked me to send her something small once I had registered and loaded my MoMo wallet.

The sad thing is that they are still waiting in vain became I'm not sending a dime. In fact, if I still had their numbers, I would have posted them here.

This is not something new in Ghana. Check from the Police Department and you shall be surprised. They demand very openly and have no shame in doing so. The Military is not that guilty when accompanied by Senior Officers but can be worse sometimes. They can take with Brutish Force, sometimes beating people who don't pay or seizing things from them. Do we blame them? Even Efo Julor John Rawlings and Boakye Djan who claimed to have seize Power finally became more corrupt than those who were in Office before them. With Corruption, only Nigeria is worse than Ghana.

I expected such nonsense from maggots infested brains like you. You may be too young to know that the Military Governments that we had in Ghana prior to the time of Efo Julor John Rawlings were not arbitrary and inhumane like those who ruled with Efo John Rawlings, Boakye Djan, and their cohorts. Did you hear about women some of who were married to very respectful and responsible men carried to the various Military Camps, stripped almost naked and whipped at their genitalia? I saw everything from the time of Kotoka. Such madness never happened. Only irresponsible and nasty followers of Efo Julor John Rawlings and Boakye Djan will never admit and condemn the evil regimes of Efo Julor John Rawlings.
I was more knowledgeable and smarter than the Military Followers who had no credible gumption who were the worst of criminals that Ghana ever had as Rulers. They cultivated the ethnic hatred in Ghana that has made many other ethnic groups to develop an unqualified hatred for Anlo Ewe people many of who were not involved in the atrocious and evil deeds of the AFRC and PNDC Regimes. ANOKWALE, go and see how many of your people are trying to acquire the identities of other ethnic groups in Ghana but are easily betrayed by their pronunciation of R and L in any English word pronunciation. Your people have become a miserable lot in Ghana now. They can't go to settle comfortably in Togoland because Eyademah's Kabre people who are in charge of affairs there will skin them alive. Your people are not even welcome in Afghanistan, Iran. You and your people are not even welcome in North and South Poles. Hahahaha. Go and see how Efo Julor John Rawlings was not even welcome into Hell. Until people like you stop being incurably tribal, you shall always be a miserable lot in Ghana. KWASEA like you. Even Efo Julor John Rawlings couldn't develop your area. I wish a miserable wretched maggots like you with intolerable misery for the rest of your life.

Suhum Sectech was not a co educational institution until later on when the SHS was introduced by Efo Julor John Rawlings. It was at our time the only Secondary School in the Suhum Kraboa Coaltar District. You went to teach there when it had been made a Senior High School. Any person looking for the truth can find out from the Suhum District Educational Office or the Regional office of the GES.
I liked the school and the students because they were very respectful, even though less studies as compared to Pope John and Okuapemman and Saint Peters school at Kwahu area. At 1996, I had already left the country.
Officially, Nkrumah was not called Kwabena but Kwame. Add that to your accumen of knowledge.

And do you know what he did in secret? Do many men let their Secret Lives out in public? Even when caught, they will always lie to the very end. Will you agree that Efo Julor John Rawlings was a Chain Smoker of Cigarettes, and that he dabbled in the smoking of Weed? This was a known secret during his days at Achimota and as a Pilot at the Burma Camp. Ask any retired Military Officer who is over 72 years to find out the if I am not telling the truth.
Overall, Rawlings was nice, especially to children and openly played GUTTER TO GUTTER with some boys around the OSU Night Market. It should be mentioned that he sometimes had intemperate temperament.

And in Uncle Sam's country,one can't ask for Tips during Official Duties. That can easily end someone even in Prison. Admittedly, some corrupt people do it but in Ghana, it is the norm. Just even attempt to get employment at any Government Sector and one is asked to GREASE THE PALMS of the Employment Officer. Some people are kept in the Regional Offices throughout their time of employment while some are dumped and remain in the Neglected and Forbidden places for the rest of the time of their employment. Don't you know that some Custom and Immigration Officers are dumped and remain in the countryside all the time of their employment while some remain in Accra Tema all the time that they have been employed?

My simple argument is, let's find genuine solutions to Ghana's problems instead of daily comparing ourselves to countries formed centuries ago.

We've all leaves abroad and know it is not all that glitters is gold. The current President of America has been found guilty for paying money to buy people's silence.

It tells you these goes on all the time. And this is a country that is 250 years old.

This daily tagging of Ghana as corrupt serves no useful purposes.

There are genuine Ghanaians suffering because of this generalised tag.

Rawlings removed a lot of this KALABULE but we said we wanted democracy and with democracy comes capitalism and we all know one of the pillars of capitalism, greed is good.

Maybe it is time, we go back to our old values and Ghana would be okay.

But will you acknowledge that Efo Julor John Rawlings became more corrupt than those he killed and allowed to be tortured?
Just tell the forum how Efo Julor John Rawlings who had no furniture of his own but used Military Plane seats? Is this assertion new news in Ghana? Rawlings was extremely corrupt but a clever pretender who manipulated the intelligence of the masses. He came as incorruptible but events after he left Office proved otherwise. Where did he send the Fifty Cedis Notes that he illegally confiscated? Were the money paid back to the owners? Let us stop portraying that Rawlings, Boakye Djan, the Tsikatas and their cohorts were Angels. They were extremely corrupt. Tsatsu Tsikatas used to wear shoes made from the Inner Tubes of vehicle tyres, claiming he was a Socialist and that all people must be equally equal. What kind of Animal Farm Nonsense of Napoleon was that? Yet, he managed to get some poorly educated and less intelligent people to believe in him. They were all horrible deceivers.

Why do you think we're calling for serious measures be taken to curb corruption and that government should enhance good management oversight policies? The aim is to help push salaries up.

Mismanagement and stealing from the coffers by politicians punish the worker. Scaling up salaries would help sponge some of these situations at the airport and other places. There are people who even take 500 Cedis and below per month!

On the other hand, the Ghana Police officers on the roads (Motor Traffic Unit) would still extort 2/5 Cedis even if they're paid $1000/Wk because they make extortion part of their hobbies and habits.

The question is are they been paid a decent wage to at least afford breakfast, maybe she did not eat breakfast that morning because she could not afford it. We are the same people who will complain if few immigration officers show up because they could not afford breakfast, resulting in long lines and waiting to be attended to. Pay those lower rank workers doing the bulk of the work decent wage so there is not temptation to stiff the travelers.

Why are we afraid of punishing wrongdoers as if John 8:7 was written for Ghanaians. Is transfer a punishment? Is that deterrent enough to her colleagues in similar situation? I travelled on the dilapidated Kumasi - Accra road last Friday, at any point the police stopped me, similar request were made.
The lady is not lucky, she's been used as a scapegoat. In order to shut her mouth, she only got transfer so that she can shield those at the top.

Two poor car park attendants were sacked outright last week by the same GACL.Why only transfer this immigration officer? Who sacks a mafia member of GNAT? For a serious crime like defilement,teachers are only transferred to different postings to continue with the molestation of their pupils and students! It is the poor car park attendants and office messengers and cleaners who are sacked

Please go to the Aflao border and you will be amazed at the high level of extortion there. I suggest we use mystery passengers to fish them out.

Lawyers sell justice....we need a revolution of 360 degrees. Many people in Ghana compare themselves to those they know outside Ghana and lie, cheat or steal to live up some type of dream life while their condition sometimes are not the same. They must have cars, electronic devices, eat food and enjoy things they cannot pay for or maintain without help from others. What is wrong with our mentality as a nation? Yet everyone is talking about God and spirits in this country!!!!

They need sensitivity training. In as much as what she did was unethical and unprofessional, transferring her will not address the issue, neither is an outright dismissal. Times are hard. Pay them well and they won't take or beg for bribes.. I don't condone the act but let's also consider the underlying causes.

GCACL is an autonomous company. High staff salaries is subject to high productivity and high profit. Extortion is a habit formed from greed. What about her colleagues who are not well paid but are disciplined and do not engage in extortion from passengers? Her stinking extortion attitude brings the image of the company and Ghana into disrepute and shame as they are the first and last point of contact when entering and leaving Ghana. Outright dismissal should be the most appropriate punishment but it must be stated in their conditions of service The staff must be banned from pocketing gifts. Gifts given to staff must be sent to HR or MD's office, recorded in a register, then Management shares to all staff at the end of the year or any other occasion. A signage with the inscription Passengers are not allowed to pay extra cash to officials must be boldly pasted all over the premises. Mystery shoppers must be frequently sent to transact business with hidden cameras on them, then later given to management to view and appropriate caution or actions taken.

Another people you should watch them at the airport is the so called officers whom they called themselves Agricultural officers or so. I mean those who check if a presenter has food items or so in their luggages. They take money from passengers and issue some stupid receipt for you. Meanwhile eg if is meat or vegetables, it will be seized at us airport. So what sense thus it make to take money and issue receipt. They need to stop that bullshit. They have no right to confront passengers and ask what is in your bags. They not customs or immigration officers. They are all harrasment.

THERE's NO WAY (I REPEAT: NO WAY) AN IMMIGRATION OFFICER SHOULD ASK A TRAVELER TO GIVE HER MONEY FOR BREAKFAST.

Ghana is a sick country and the country keeps going backwards. When South Africans told Ghanaians to go back and fix their country people were complaining. Something of this nature started in South Africa long time ago and all the employees involved were dismissed. Look at Ghana, transfer them to another place. Shame. When government jobs become available, it is distributed to politicians who intend sell them. Everyone in Ghana knows to get a fire service job you have to pay money. I wish Ghana web can shed light on these problems instead of publishing untrue stories
