  The system is not working and need to be fixed.Instead of a task force. You need consultants who understand the system to fix it.

  Why are you shaking like the NPP when the special forces went on display at the the Black Star Square? You can all go to Togo. Already you have been working hard to make this govt unpopular through changing of cedis into dollars and hoarding? Can you explain why you reduced the prices of you wares when the greedy thief Kufour came into office? Please move to Togo and remain there forever

  With the growing commerce the port has not kept pace, so you need to expand the facilities, more staff and scanners to reduce the delay. We never plan for the future.

  BECAUSE BLACKMAN IS AFRAID OF WHITEMAN. WHITEMAN SUPERIORITY AND BRAIN POWER WILL BEAT BLACMAN COMMON SENSE.
  CARS PLYING ARE IN GHANA ARE DEATH-TRAPS CAUSING SERIOUS ACCIDENTS YET THEY ARE NOT BANNED FROM THE ROADS. GOOD SOUND CARS FROM EUROPE FAR BETTER THAN HOME-RUNNING CARS ARE OVER-AGE CARS BANNED FROM GHANA.
  THIS EXPOSES THE STUPIDITY OF BLACKMAN AND IF THE ONE MAKING SUCH LAW IS SO STUPID, WHAT GOOD THING WOUND COME OUT OF HIM....."THOUGH THOUSAND MAY FALL, LET NOT (GHANA) BE GIVEN". SO EDWARD AKUFFO-ADDO, DONT GIVE UP.

  QUESTION: Why are "expatriates relocated to other parts of the country -retailing goods against the law of the trading sector"?
  ANSWER: Because expatriates are INTELLIGENT more than Ghanaians officials, they are able to manipulate these quack 'round-pegs-in-square-holes' officials with few cash in hand and COLLECT GOOD THINGS FROM THE COUNTRY since our rich resources are of no value to us or we can not make use of them. THIS IS THE WORK OF GOD. Ghana's resources are lying waste without expatriates. We can not make use of them due to lack of common sense of scientific application. So the expatriates who have common sense scientific knowledge but have no raw materials have to come and take them, make use at no cost to them.THE POOR GETS POORER AND THE RICH GETS RICHER/GIVE TO THOSE WHO HAVE. FROM THOSE WHO DO NOT HAVE(common sense)WHAT THEY HAVE WILL BE TAKEN FROM THEM. Q.E.D.

  Easier said than done. If you clear your goods in Togo, how do you get them into Ghana? You will still have to go through Ghana Customs at the port or border to bring the goods to Ghana, not to talk of storage/warehousing in Togo and transportation costs to Ghana. Corruption is endermic in Ghana business environment, and is perpetrated by unscrupulous government officials and aided by the conniving general public. The taker as well as the giver of bribes are equally guilty.

  I WILL NEVER FORGET late LORD LISTOWEL'S CRITIQUE: "CAN BLACKMEN GOVERN THEMSELVES".
  POSITIVE MEASURES END UP NEGATIVE MEASURES. PRODUCTIVE MEASURES FINISH UNPRODUCTIVE.
  Remedial measures turn out to be problem-oriented measures. NOTHING GOES ON SMOOTHLY AMONG BLACK PEOPLE. I BELIEVE IT IS THE WORK OF GOD TO MAKE US SO stupid, NEGATIVE AND CHERISH NEGATION AS IN Twi "ADASA PE MMOBRO" meaning WE CHERISH HARDSHIP, COMPLEXITY, POVERTY, DISASTERS AND EVEN'DEATH AND SORROW' ARE OUR HALLMARKS.
  WE DONT LIKE PROPER WAY OF DOING THINGS. LORD WHY THOU CREATE US LIKE THIS? IF IT IS NOT THY WORK, LORD, PLEASE, POLISH THE MENTALITY OF BLACK PEOPLE TO MAKE LIFE BETTER FOR THE THEMSELVES. Their environment is awful yet they stay there without complaining and refining. They dont know they are awful,spiteful,and live in a disastrous conditions...... "THOUGH THOUSANDS MAY FALL, LET NOT AFRICA/GHANA BE GIVEN UP",late Robert Cox, 18th century missionary. GHANAIANS SHOULD OPEN THEIR EYES AND MIND TO RECEIVE GOOD PERCEPTION.

  WHEN SCHOOLS SYLLABLE IS NOT COMPLETED BY THE TUTOR BEFORE THE EXTERNAL EXAMINATION, STUDENTS SIT EXAMS AND FAIL. WHY? BECAUSE THERE IS CHECKS AND BALANCES COMMON SENSE IN THE SYSTEM/GOVT. wo ne hwan ko ka se 'enkoyie'
