This ain't the first time we are hearing this. It happens more times and authorities are aware such things happen but they have kept blind eyes on it. Even the immigration persons as well as other officers working there beg for perfumes, shirts and money as low as 1 buck. Is very shameful. This must stop. What a rotten nation is this?

Hey so called ghana. U r very stupid to call this disgrace. Do u know how many people have complained about this including me? U have no idea how painful it is to work hard abroad just to get few things for oneself. Even if one item is stolen, the owner did not get it for free but through hard work. Please stop the nonsense and find ways to solve the problem. Next time I visit ghana and my stuff is stolen again, I promise u, whoever steals it will die.

These criminals are around the arrival and departure area at the baggage clearing and check-in,they are clever thieves.Passangers try and pass thro' the appropriate check-in procedures, getting your loggages weighed by your self or identified personnels and seeing that your baggages pass thro identified or authorized persons. "Boame na me bag no enko". Hmm my sister that help will be a hazard to you.This is where we give chance to these criminals to perform.So pls akwantufuo don't let us get into their traps.

It's very true especially the workers of BRITISH AIRWAYS .They approached me to give them something and started asking me about what I got in my luggage, when I told him he wrote everything down on a paper he was holding. When I got to the USA,because I made transit through UK my bag didn't come, it showed up after a few days with everything gone. Thieves really really work at kotoka .I challenged the BA about this and I was told to produce a receipt which I didn't have. I still recognize that man and will confront him anytime we meet at the airport.

HON.MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS & REGIONAL INTEGRATION HANNAH TETTEY
DIRECTOR OF FBI

DATE: TUESDAY, JULY 19, 2016
SUBJECT: DEAR H.E.CHAIRPERSON OF AFRICAN-UNION AND HIS/HER EXCELLENCIES
PRESIDENTS, PRIME MINISTERS AND HEAD OF STATES OF THE AFRICAN-UNION,

IT IS A TRITE KNOWLEDGE AND A TRITE LAW THAT THERE IS STRENGTH IN
UNITY AND THAT COUNTRIES/STATES AND SOCIETIES THRIVE ON THE RULE OF
LAW, FREEDOM AND JUSTICE, THERETO.
THAT THE NOBLE PRINCIPLES OF FREEDOM AND JUSTICE ARE THE BEDROCKS OF
PROMOTION OF DEMOCRACY, GOOD GOVERNANCE, TRANSPARENCY AND RESPECT OF
LAW AND FREEDOM AT THE SAME TIME.
THAT SAME FACILITATE AND ALSO PROMOTE PEACE, SECURITY, PROSPERITY AND
DEVELOPMENTS, THERETO.
IT IS THEREFORE MY RESPECTFUL AND HUMBLE SUBMISSION THAT THE FOUNDING
FATHERS OF THE ORGANISATION OF AFRICAN UNITY WHICH LATER TRANSFORMED
TO THE AFRICAN-UNION HAD THESE PRINCIPLES AS PILLARS OF THE VISION
UPON WHICH THE AFRICAN_UNION WAS CONCEIVED AND ALSO GIVEN BIRTH TO AND
THEREFORE TAKING COGNIZANCE OF THE GLOBAL PERSPECTIVES OF THE UNITED
NATIONS WHICH WAS FORMED MAINLY AND SOLELY TO HELP PREVENT AN OCCASION
OF A THIRD (3) WORLD WAR AND GEARED TOWARDS THE PROMOTION OF PEACE<
SECURITY, PROSPERITY AND DEVELOPMENT THROUGH THE NOBLE PRINCIPLES OF
"UNITY IN DIVERSITY" THAT SINCE ITS INCEPTION OR FORMATION HAS DONE
GREAT WORKS TOWARDS THE ATTAINMENTS OF ITS VISION< AIMS< ASPIRATIONS
AND OBJECTIVES BY ESTABLISHING THE STRUCTURAL ORGANISATIONS THAT WILL
HELP THE ATTAINMENTS OF SUCH NOBLE GOALS.
THAT THE UNITED NATIONS CHARTER OF UNIVERSAL DECLARATIONS OF
FUNDAMENTAL HUMAN RIGHTS, ECONOMIC, POLITICAL, SOCIAL, CIVIL AND
RELIGIOUS RIGHTS PROMOTIONS AND PROTECTION ACTUALLY IN VIEW OF THE
REALIST PERSPECTIVES NEED A JUDICIAL WING TO HELP ADJUDICATE MATTERS
OF CONTROVERSIES IN LINE WITH THE INTERNATIONAL LAW AND THE UNITED
NATIONS CHARTER AND CONVENTIONS< THERETO.
THEREFORE, RESPECTFULLY IN MY PERSPECTIVE VIEW POINTS THAT THE
AFRICAN-UNION HAS A STAKE IN THAT WORLD BODY OR THE ICC ADJUDICATIONS
OF MATTERS/CASES AND FOR THAT MATTER IT IS RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED THAT
THE AFRICAN-UNION NOT TO PULL OUT OF THE ICC, THERETO.
HOWEVER, THE AFRICAN-UNION INSTEAD OF PULLING OUT OF THE ICC TO HUMBLY
CONSIDER TO REMAIN WITHIN THE ICC AND TO CONSIDER TO ADOPT THE
FOLLOWING POLICY PERSPECTIVES MEASURES:
(i) THE AFRICAN-UNION TO HAVE REPRESENTATIVES ON THE ICC SINCE THAT
WILL BE SEEN AS GIVEN VOICE AND LEVERAGE TO THE AFRICAN-UNION.
THIS IS BECAUSE PROFESSIONAL LAWYERS FROM AFRICA ESPECIALLY THE
CLASSIFICATIONS OF BARRISTERS, ADVOCATES AND SOLICITORS PROFESSIONAL
QUALIFICATIONS ARE STILL NOT DETERMINED BY THE COMPARATIVE ADVANTAGE
EDGE THAT PROFESSIONAL LAWYERS FROM THE FORMER EASTERN EUROPEAN
COUNTRIES AND UNITED STATES OF AMERICA HAVE OVER THE CLASS OF
BARRISTERS< ADVOCATES AND SOLICITORS.
THAT FOR EXAMPLE, A PROFESSIONAL LAWYER FROM THE FORMER EASTERN
EUROPEAN COUNTRIES ARE DEEM TO BE HOLDERS OF "PhD IN LAW" AND THAT OF
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ARE DEEM "JURIS-DOCTORS".
THAT THERE IS THE URGENT NEED FOR THE AFRICAN-UNION AND MEMBER
COUNTRIES TO CONSIDER TO REFORM THE PROFESSIONAL LAW DEGREE
STATUS,THERETO, TO ENABLE THE PROFESSIONAL LAWYERS FROM AFRICA TO HAVE
THE SAME LEVERAGE OF COMPETITIVE EDGE IN THE WORLD AND WITHIN THE
UNITED NATIONS AND THE ICC.

(ii) THAT THE AFRICAN_UNION NEEDS TO ADOPT A STRATEGY OF GOOD
GOVERNANCE, TRANSPARENCY, PROMOTION OF CONSTITUTIONAL DEMOCRACY, THE
RULE OF LAW, FREEDOM AND JUSTICE, PEACE, PROSPERITY AND DEVELOPMENT.
(iii) THAT THE AFRICAN-UNION TO BE SEEN TO HELP IN THE ERADICATION OF CORRUPTION OF POLITICAL/PUBLIC OFFICIALS, THE ELIMINATION OF IMPERSONATION/IDENTITY THEFT AND INTERNET RELATED/CYBER CRIMES FOR THE CONTINENT.

(iv) THAT THE AFRICAN-UNION TO HELP ELIMINATE TRIBALISM, TRIBAL/ETHNIC RELATED CONFLICTS FROM THE CONTINENT AND TO FIGHT POVERTY, HUNGER, DISEASE FROM THE CONTINENT, THERETO.

(v) THAT THE AFRICAN-UNION TO ENCOURAGE AND PROMOTE EDUCATION AND TO HELP ERADICATE IGNORANCE AND MEDIOCRITY FROM THE CONTINENT.

(vi) THAT THE AFRICAN-UNION TO HELP PROMOTE AND ENCOURAGE INFORMATION SHARING IN THE 21ST CENTURY WORLD THAT QUALITY INFORMATION IS VERY NECESSARY OF THE FACILITATION AND PROMOTION OF QUALITY DECISION MAKING PROCESS IN VIEW OF THE FACT THAT THE WORLD IS NOW SEEN AS "A GLOBAL VILLAGE CONNECTED AND INTER_CONNECTED WITH THE WEB OR THE INTERNET" AND FOR THAT THE AFRICAN-UNION CANNOT BE SEEN TO RENEGE ON THESE RELATED 21ST CENTURY WORLD PILLARS OF DEVELOPMENTAL TOOLS, THERETO.

(vii) THAT THE AFRICAN-UNION TO ENCOURAGE AND TO PROMOTE HARD WORK, DEDICATION< COMMITMENT AND PERSEVERANCE AND TO HELP ADEQUATELY REWARD SAME TO SERVE AS MOTIVATION.

(ix) AND ANY OTHER(S) ISSUES THAT MAY OR MIGHT ARISE, THEREFROM.

IT IS THEREFORE AT THESE RELATED BACKDROPS AND IN VIEW ALSO OF THE FACT THAT "LAW IS A TOOL OF AND FOR PROMOTION OF PEACE, SECURITY, UNITY, PROSPERITY AND DEVELOPMENTS" THAT THE UNITED NATIONS NEED AN INSTITUTION TO ADJUDICATE MATTERS AND THE ICC IS ONE OF THOSE JUDICIAL WING OF THE UNITED NATIONS AND THEREFORE I RESPECTFULLY URGE THE AFRICAN-UNION NOT TO PULL OUT OF THE ICC BUT TO HAVE A VOICE AND REPRESENTATION OF THE ICC, THERETO.
RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED.

Traditional Satanism is not simply an inversion, but a complete rejection of the images of a
00233244908520particular culture, religion, or philosophy. From there a Satanist uses those images against the ethos itself, that was once his own conditioning. Persons who participate in traditional Satanic masses sometimes experience a king of 'sartori', a sudden enlightenment, to an increase in their own consciousness, and feeling stronger and satisfied because they had broken with the constraining opposites. In other words, at its highest level Satanism uncovers what the ethos of a particular community or society has covered up through images, dogma, words and ideas, returning the individual to the primal chaos out of which 'opposites' were created." ~ Magister Hagur, Temple of Atazoth Office

This "thievery " got to stop! Most of us abroad have been victims before and it is so sad. I had my items stolen when I came to Gh April 2010. Poor me!!! . Over here in abroad when a luggage is delayed, it is delivered to your door step with all items intact. Why can't employees @ Kotoka do likewise. Ghana our beloved country is sinking!!!!! May God help those employees refrain from such acts.

Why Ghana the airport official know something about it. It happens to me too. Both official and the thieves are all having long Hands. Many people are scared to pass through KIA when traveling.

It is strange that the subject of the matter is ignore and commentators are now dealing with tribal issues. Dear folks lets treat thievery at KIA seriously for it is a shame and a bad image to the nation. Ewe,North, Ashanti etc is not the solution rather we are preparing grounds for civil war in the future. Pls. lets enjoy our peace in the country.

This is very true, real and live story and must be investigated and perpetrators punish severely. Where are the CCTV cameras ? The authorities must put stringent measures. This thievery is common at Kotoka airport

Excutives at KIA please wake up and do something who is hiring all these thieves to work at an international airport. I was a victim too only a month ago all my valuable jewellery in one bag was stolen. Its a shame, this is not a tribal thing, everyone working there is a thief,yes otherwise something should have been done by now.When people are walking the street naked and mad they wonder why,think of the the years ahead of you when you spend your life stealing and enjoying other people possessions they have worked hard for.

This issue is not happening only at the KIA. The fact of the matter is, bribery and corruption has eaten deep into the fabric of the Ghanaian society. People who write receipts at the Korle Bu and Police hospital mortuary take a greater part of the money for themselves. Unless we get a serious government, we will destroy our own country. There is nothing like patriotism in Ghana. It cuts across all tribes, work places, etc. It is an open secret that parents pay hefty amounts before their wards are admitted to nursing schools. What about Senior High Schools, Universities?

I experienced a similar fate when my carry-on was tagged and taken form me at the gangway while boarding Delta Air to New York. Upon my arrival I realized my neck chain, bracelet and $2000.00 cash had been stolen. I believe it was the 'work' of the baggage handlers on the plane.I wonder who supervises those 'thugs'.

I had my personal belongings stolen from one of my two suitcases. After picking up one of my suitcases from the arrival carousels, I had to wait for about 45 mins for the next suit case and found out it was opened. I reported the incident right there at the airport and none of the personnel at the arrival hall carousel wants to listen to me. I sadly took my suit case home and found out some of my personal jeans I brought to wear, gifts I brought for nephews and nieces are gone. It was difficult and sad for me to tell my family some of the gifts I brought for them had been stolen at the airport. I was really ashamed to give family members just 1 underarm deodorant or 1 perfume or just 1 tee shirt. Something really have to be done at the departure and arrival at the airport. There should be really some honest supervisor checking these personnel loading and unloading travelers luggages

They, and I mean all the traffice policemen do not care about enforcing traffice laws; instead they are good at (under false pretenses) extorting/abusing and begging for monies they refer to as chop money when they are being paid to do a job. I have personal experience of police stopping me at a checkpoint and demanding/asking for breakfast money. What a disgraceful bunch of hooligans being paid by tax payer to protect citizens.
