Again if they arrest any illegal lumber they sell it back to the suspect at a low price for the suspect to gain something which will continue to instigate them to keep distroying the forest in oda. You can investigate.

  THE GOVERNMENT MUST NOT BEHAVE AS THE OSTRICH NOT SEEING WHAT IS HAPPENING TO GHANA'S FORESTS. THE GOVERNMENT HAS TO ENFORCE THE LAWS ELSE GHANA WILL SOON START BUYING WOOD FROM FOREIGN SOURCES. DO AS IT IS BEING DONE IN CIVILIZED SOCIETIES BY ENFORCING COMPANIES TO REPLANT WHEREVER THEY CUT. CANADA FOLLOWS THIS PROTOCOL THOUGH THEY HAVE A MUCH BIGGER AREA OF TREES. GHANA MUST FOLLOW THEIR EXAMPLE.
