    Whoever charges sales taxes at it's port of entry - even on personal items.

    You people can not think far.

    Personal what? Next time, someone will bring in a plane through harbour as personal use.

    Why do govts tax Imports? I doubt you know the answer.

  • serwaa aka Mrs Jasikan 7 years ago

    You're really full of yourself like your opinion carries so much weight that we should exalt you. Instead of acting "know-it-all" here, why don't you organise your cohorts and stage a protest about the tax deduction. Whether ...

  • Nyebro 7 years ago

    And so what? Was he moved to a different ministry or was completely sacked? And by the way, what were Kuffuor's reasons? For all you know, Kuffuor might have been wrong. Have you for once asked yourself why Kuffour relieved h ...
