Corruption must be rooted out in Ghana. Whether politicians or civil/ public servants, culprits must be tried and jailed if found guilty.

Interdiction is not enough. They should be jailed to serve as a deterrent. All of them, according the late President Attah Mills, have built mansions with their scanty salaries. Seize them

I do not think they have editors who finally check these reports before publishing.
I suggest we should attack the editors instead of labelling it differently.

Man, Mahama was a parasite to corruption, one custom officer by the Odonkor who use to work at the Tema habour last gate who was cited in Anas Video steeling and taken bribe during Professor Atta Mills regime who was immediately interducted , was reinstated after Prof Mills has been successfully Executed by his own party people Guru's, and came back big time imposing undue changes on importers who were clearing their goods at the time. At one instance I came across his dubious practice as I was clearing a container I shipped from Germany which contains items which was dully inspected and the appropriate duty was paid, after which I was ordered to follow a long chain of goods heading to the final gate where this notorious gangster is operating, on getting to the final gate as criminal as he is impose a charge on me to pay before I could go out, of course as curious as I am I questioned why and what is that money suppose to mean? he not answering my question ordered that my goods should be returned to the yard for another examination to be carried out even though he didn't find anything wrong with the goods he ordered that I double pay for items that duty has been payed already after several protest and petition I submitted to the then director of operations at the habour it further delayed my goods and further charges were added to my burden he again succeeded with his notorious act and implicated me with another burden of over five Ghana cedis almost everybody including the agents are very much aware of the activities of that notorious arm rubber in disguise wearing customs uniform but working against the state, thunder should strike him and his entire family

These are the unfortunate ones.The government should set up a hotline telephone number and ask the vpublic to report the corrupt activities of customs officers for action to be taken.Such whistle-blowers should be financially rewarded.Corruption Prevention Officers must also be appointed with the sole responsibility of investigating reports of corrupt practices by customs officers and taking immediate action on those found to be true.CUSTOMS OFFICERS AND MANY PUBLIC OFFICERS LIVE LIFESTYLES FAR ABOVE THEIR INCOMES AND YET NOBODY QUESTIONS HOW THEY FINANCE SUCH EXPENSIVE LIFESTYLES.They are all thieves stealing monies belonging to the state.The government should never spare such public servants when caught.They are enemies of the state.

In this era of political witch hunting, Ghanaians would like to know who these interdicted officers are so we can clear our minds. It is surprising that these officers are selected from a pool of wholly criminal enterprise called Ghana revenue service. we need to understand why the rest have been left in situ.

This is an excellent job but I trust dis was done without partisan colouration bcos NPP is very smart nd vindictive character nd does things under the colour of a disguise. I pray nd hope they are not sacking dis 15 people believed to be NDC, and looking every space to get dem out as we have witnessed a number public sector workers bin summerily sacked without due process. The behaviour of NPP govt is like they have taken over powerever since January. They remember, no matter what, one day u will leave power one day nd u can imagine what NDC will do dem in retaliation. This people hav further set precedents after taken over. Ordinary civil servants are also bin sacked along side CEO's in public. Last week, a mere client service officer at DVLA sacked without due process.

Pls do not send them home. Once you have reasonable grounds to interdict them they should be arrested and bailed by bond to the amount they've stolen or made the nation loose.

This action of firing numerous criminal Customs Officers caught defrauding the State on such a massive scale must be televised, named and shamed for all to view. It will be only when such drastic punishable actions are deplored by honest State Security Service Officers that will deter other intended corrupt Officers from following suite. Congratulations to NPP and Akufo-Addo administration, perhaps NDC opportunists will learn a thing or two from such commendable investigation of staff behaviour.
