  Why don't you send this information directly to the standard board and CEPS? Why AMA?

  Rachel, as for the laws we have them plenty ooo. The problem is to find a decent group of people who will form a government and enforce the laws. The clueless cabal we have now are obviously not up to the task. In fact they are too preoccupied with stealing to be bothered by the welfare of the citizens.

  1. Are these people trading legally (registered company, registered to pay tax)?
  
  2. Do you expect anyone to act against them if they have already paid all the required bribes?

  This is the difference between our failed state, and countries that are going somewhere. The government is impotent, the only thing Mahama and his cronies do is enjoy the juicy perks of the office. They do zero work!

  This is obvious show of enviousness about some individual Ghanaian doing his thing by trying to establish himself with own set import business, thereby giving others opportunity for job.
  
  The reasons given above for writing this letter to even the wrong authority shows clear that the writer is either mischievously ignorant, jealous by somebody's success or an evil social bigotry.
  
  Ghana is a free democratic law abiding place for anybody to engage in lawful business and there is no law binding the importation of used tyres into the country.
  
  Where was this writer when the whole sale or warehouse was being built in the first place?
  
  The unscrupulous writer should go find some job to keep himself busy than the senseless attempt to under undermine others.
  
  Bonkers!!!

  The law enforcement agencies must get going on this. Why should customs allow the clearance of such goods into the country in the first place?

  It's a shame to read such articles of such things going on in Ghana. These days residential areas are turned into commercial areas. You see high rise buildings and apartments mushrooming all over the place with no one questioning their purpose. I think Lincoln as a school of long standard reputation should contact the relevant authorities to inspect and enforce the law. Just imagine a fire outbreak with these community no one stands any chance or hope. Well done to the concerned citizen how brought this to our attention. Keep it up and hope others will follow. Let's all help put our country back on the right place.

  I cringe whenever I hear stories like this. What if those tires caught on fire, what would happen to those kids in the school? It'll take someone with a tough love to straighten Ghanaians.

  I don't think there is anything wrong if the owner of the house decides to put his imported goods there. If the containers have bn cleared means they've also gone through the bla bla bla about tyres that the writer is going on about otherwise they won't be clears by customs.
  
  Rather unfortunate that u do not agree with the importer but the land owner can also do anything that they want with their land as long as the business is legal.
  Spying and taking photos of me Working won't do anything.
  Same way they can also sue you for secretly taking pics of them without their consent.

  You are wrong, Ama. As a nation, If we want to move forward with decency in our system then we must do the right thing. This business can affect you indirectly. Look at what happened to the our brothers and sisters who lost their lives at the filling station. If things were done properly this wouldn't happened. This is not jealousy, but a concerned citizen not sitting to wait for things to go bad.
