They are.notmprpfessional at all go to any airport in Amsterdam, Britain, new york Toronto Airport workers don't do this. So why Ghana? We live in a global community. Why don't you start shitting anyhow onnthr asphalt and piss everywhere and take showers in thr middle of night highway? It's not done anywhere in any civilized world so please airport workers emulate what your other colleagues elsewhere are doing and have dig iry and be professional. Thr small money you make you can save some and start a side hustle..the airport is a place to network snd meet others who can help you engage in business. Use your position to network not to ask for petty change oh if you are leaving can I have your dollars? Of so you won't leave anything for your sister? Look at this? Have some dignity

Yes ckear all of them from the baggage claim area. Are their jobs to assist arriving passengers and to be hustlers? Why can't we bring international standards to bear on airport operations? Fly into Washington DC and you will have no more than two baggage handlers managing the flow of bags on the carousel. At KIA you will see a ton of people each one trying to hustle and collect some money. Even the people who are cleaning the restrooms. If that Airport Authority means business, they should get all non-essential people out of the baggage area.

Immigration Officers also ask for tips. They ask 3d3n na wodebr3 yen. Please crack down on them also. It's a disgrace.

Begging at the airport by staffs sends a bad image of the country to foreign visitors and must be addressed. Thanks president JDM, for speaking on this issue

Beggars are found everywhere on the streets in major cities and towns across Ghana. Clear them all.

The people of Ghana should be able to eat what Mahama, parliamentarians, others eat or I will say they shouldn’t stop. The system must be such that one can buy KFC at least once a week. Zoomlion pays it worker 300 gh a month. Mr president, talk about that too.

Fascination for visitors, what about we the citizens. This prejudice for visitors is killing us, the gold standard for such matters is how citizens treat their own citizens not how citizens treat visitors. A lot of people especially in poor countries still have supremacy mentality where the visitor is deemed more important than their own citizens. Mahama is endorsing this by the ignorance of his advisors and people around him.

YES.
It should be in their hiring documents that, they will be jailed if they are caught soliciting from passengers.

Some of them have built houses through begging, so just letting them go and enjjoy their loot is not enough.

Very positive efforts. However, the focus should not only be on visitors, but also Ghanaian nationals leaving and arriving the country. The measures must be extremely strict, monitoring must be extremely high. I believe things will get better.
A mall and a food court bring us to a good standard. Well done to the authorities. May God give you wisdom to lead.
