  Your stupidity is beyond human imagination. Do Asantes control the registration of businesses? Ignorant fool like you are the reason Ghana is still ancient in terms of development.

  Ghanaians have to involve in governmental issues speak out the wrong things and persist on the right to be done.

  WHEN THESE SERIOUS FACTORS ARE THE ORDER OF THE DAY,INDISCRIMINATE CHARGES BY SERVICE SHIPPING PROVIDERS,CHARGES OF SHIPPING AGENTS,CHARGES OF CLEARING AGENTS, , CHARGES OF FREIGHT FORWARDERS,CHARGES OF CONSOLIDATORS, PROCESSING OF BUSINESS PERMITS AND LICENCES AT THE GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTS, THEN THE QUESTION IS;
  
  WHY SHOULD GOVERNMENT ALLOW THESE CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES TO BE CARRIED OUT
  UNDER ITS WATCH.
  
  WHY IS THE GOVERNMENT NOT SACKING THE OFFICIALS INVOLVED IN THESE CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES AT THE GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTS AND REVOKE THE
  PERMITS OF THE OPERATING SHIPPING
  AT THE PORTS OF GHANA.
  
  ITS SAD AND DISGRACEFUL TO WATCH AND SEE THESE PRIMITIVE CRIMINAL ACTIVIES TAKING PLACE IN A COUNTRY, DECLARED AS A HEAVILY INDEPTED POOR COUNTRY (HIPC)IN THE WORLD.
  
  
  THESE ARE MEN AND WOMEN WHO DO NOT EARN MORE THAN $200,000 A DAY BUT HAVE PUT UP MANSIONS, VILLAS, RUNNING TAXIS, HOTELS AND BARS IN THE COUNTRY.
  
  WHERE IS THE GOVERNMENT AND ITS SO CALLED APPOINTED EDUCATED OFFICIALS WITH BIG DEGREES AND PHDS IN ECONOMICS,FINANCIAL AND BUSINESS MANAGEMENT IN THE COUNTRY.
  
  ARE POSITIONS, DEGREES AND PHD TITLES MEANT TO MANIPULATE, EMBEZZLE AND STEAL THE FUNDS OF THE NATION.
  
  THAT IS TOTALLY CRIMINAL WRONGDOING.
  
  WHY SHOULD THESE ANTI-ELEMENTS AND ANTAGONISTS CONTINUE TO DESTROY THE BROKEN ECONOMY OF GHANA.
  
  ARE GHANAIANS EDICATED ONLY TO EXPLOIT THEIR OWN PEOPLE AND PLUNDER THE RESOURCES OF THE STATE.

  KOFI,
  
  I AM WITH YOU NOW WITH YOUR COMPREHENSIVE ANAYLYSIS OF THE SITUATION ON THE GROUND AND THE MANY CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES TAKING PLACE AT THE GOVERNMEMT DEPARTMENTS AND THE SHIPPING SECTOR IN THE COUNTRY.
  
  ONE IS PUZZLED IF, ALL THESE CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES MUST TAKE PLACE ON THE WATCH OF THE GOVERNMENT.
  
  ONE THING YOU NEED TO BEAR IN MIND,UNLESS THERE IS A GENERAL OVERHAUL OF THE PUBLIC SECTOR AND STRICT CONTROL MEASURES TAKEN ON THE SO CALLED SHIPPING AGENCIES, THE NATION WILL CONTINUE TO BE DOOMED TO HELL, WITH NO HOPE OF ECONOMIC PROGRESS AND ADVANCEMENT FOR THE PRESENT AND THE NEXT GENERATIONS FOR THE NEXT HUNDRED YERAS(100) OR MORE IN GHANA.
  
  ITS SIMPLY TO SEE PEOPLE APPOINTED TO POSITIONS DESTRYOYING THE NATION.
  
  SHOULD ALL OUR FAILED POLITICAL, ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT, NOT THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT THE CPP UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF OSAGYEFO DR KWAME
  NKRUMAH BUILT FOR GHANA IN NINE YEARS.
  
  IT WAS BECAUSE OF HIS VOICE IN WORLD POLITICAL AFFAIRS THAT PLACED GHANA IN THE WORLD MAP.
  
  AND TODAY HE STANDS IN WORLD POLITICAL HISTORY AS THE GREATEST POLITICIAN IN THE 20TH CENTURY.
  
  HIS WORKS IN HIS LIFE TIME HAS MADE MANY GHANAIANS TO PROFIT FROM HIS WORLD RECOGNITION.
  
  CAN YOU JUST IMAGINE,GHANA AIRWAYS WAS RAN TO BANKCRUPTSY AND GHANA RAILWAY, ONCE THE BACKBONE OF GHANA'S ECONOMIC DEVELPOPMENT IS PRESENTLY BROKEN DOWN IN PIECES.
  
  DOES ALL THESE NEGATIVE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT,JUSTIFY US TO SAY WE HAVE PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES,DEGREE AND PHD HOLDERS,PROFESSORS, LECTRURERS, BIG POSITIONS IN WORLD ORGANISATIONS AND RESEARCH INSTITUTIONS.
  
  WE CANNOT GET AHEAD-FALLING BEHIND.
  
  VERY SHAMEFUL INDEED.

  bureaucracy was a white mans invention, but black man made it perfect, we love it because it makes useless people feel powerful.
  when white man started to break it down and started minimizing it because they found out is was disturbing business, black man continued it because of possibilities of power and created chances of abuse.
