  What economic sense does this make?
  I was shocked that GHANA,that has been THE THIRD EXPORTER OF HARD WOOD IN THE WORLD,WILL NOW BE IMPORTING LUMBER/TIMBER FROM THE CAMEROON.
  I WAS ALSO SHOCKED GHANA NOW IMPORTS FURNITURE FROM ABROAD.
  WHAT A SHAME!
  NOW WE ARE ON THE VERGE OF EXPORTING TIMBER TO THE EU "IF IT IS GENUINE/LAWFUL".
  WHAT DOES ALL THESE MEANS?
  
  GHANA HAS FAILED AS A COUNTRY,IN THE AREA OF PRESERVATION OF OUR NATURAL RESOURCES.
  FOREIGNERS ARE KILLING OUR ECOLOGY AND WE STAIR THEM IN OUR EYES WITH UNCARING/UNPATRIOTIC ATTITUDE,ABOUT OUR CHILDREN'S FUTURE.
  I WILL NOT BE SURPRISED WHEN GHANA STARTS TO BUY AIR TO BREATH.

  The government hippocratical handling of timber issues in Ghana is the cause of illegal lumbering in Ghana.
