Ghanaians in other countries are engaged in petit trading. This law is outmoded, and needs to be abolished. Ghanaians all over the world are working comfortably in the host countries. It is not all foreigners who have huge money to invest in big businesses. Foreigners must be allowed to do small business. In return, they can pay taxes to govt. Ghanaians are doing petit trading in Togo, Benin, La Cote d'Ivoire etc. Let's flip the script to see if Ghanaians would be happy if they were harassed because of petit trading. In the Bible, God said that we should welcome foreigners and let them live, and work comfortably in our country. Most Ghanaian traders are very greedy. They sell their merchandise at very high prices. On the other hand, Nigerians and other foreigners's merchandise are affordable. There is the need for competition in this kind of business. It is time for this outmoded law to be abolished.
There is no where in the world where Ghanaians are harassed for doing petit trading. It's time for change! Foreigners must be given equal job opportunities in Ghana.

The Government must enforce laws relating to FOREIGNERS IN GHANA.

Foreiners MUST NOT SUPPLANT GHANAIANS IN OUR OWN LAND FOR WHAT IS NATURALLY OURS.

THE NEXT ELECTION WILL BE WON BY THE PARTY THAT LISTENS TO GHANAIANS AS TO DEPORTING FOREIGNERS WHO ARE CAUSING MAYHEM IN OUR SOCIETY.

WE WILL NOT ALLOW POLITICIANS TO SELL OUR COUNTRY TO FOREIGNERS ON THE PLATTER OF ECOWAS. ONLY DOCUMENTED FOREIGNERS ARE ALLOWED SO WE CAN TRACK THEM WHEN THEY COMMIT CRIMES.

THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IN GHANA IS NOT THE ABSENCE OF THE LAW BUT THE INABILITY OF THE ENFORCEMENT OF THE LAW BY THE AUTHORITIES. THIS INABILITY OF THE ENFORCEMENT OF THE LAW BY THE GOVERNMENT CUT ACROSS ALL THE VARIOUS SEGMENTS OF THE SOCIETY. NIGERIANS HAVE INVADED OUR PETTY TRADING SPACE SO MUCH THAT EVERY CORNER OF OUR COMMUNITY YOU SEE THEM INDULGING IN PETTY TRADING FROM SELLING PHONES AND PHONE ACCESSORIES, SPARE PARTS, HARDWARE AND PLUMBING MATERIALS ETC. THEY INDULGE IN THIS TRADES WITH IMPUNITY. MOST OF THIS NIGERIANS ARE IN GHANA WITHOUT RESIDENT PERMIT OR WORK PERMIT. THEY ARE LIVING IN GHANA WITHOUT ANY DOCUMENTATION. EVEN ALMIGHTY USA IS PROTECTING THEIR BORDERS AND HOW MUCH LESS A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY LIKE GHANA. OUR INSTITUTION LIKE THE POLICE, IMMIGRATION AND CUSTOMS ARE NOT WORKING AND ARE ONLY WASTING TAX PAYERS MONEY. NOTHING WORKS IN GHANA AND I DON'T FOR SEE ANY MEANINGFUL CHANGE OR TRANSFORMATION IN GHANA UNTIL OUR INSTITUTION RISES FROM THIS SLUMBER

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ENFORCE ANY LAW BARRING FOREIGNERS FROM PETTY TRADING.
Any foolish mistake will cost Ghana in the international arena and Ghana will never forgive itself or be forgiven by the international community. Do you know how many Ghanaians go round the world hawking goods to survive and send money home to their family members? Who actually Sat down and thought of this foolishness?
