You see you money conscious greedy wicked indigenous idiots. You criminals are killing local consumers by selling your goods at very high prices and you don't want us to enjoy the cheaper price from foreigners. You local business person can buy something for 1ghc and you will sell it 15ghc to too much profit. You are all thieves who should rot in hell. The government should promote an enabling environment for more foreigners to bring cheaper goods for us to enjoy. If you want us to buy from reduce your killer prices.
