I agree with my learned contributor Ama Mansa. The govt should use the traders and importers at the various ports of entry and the the Govt will find out what really happens at these places. However, I hope the President will honour his word since we have heard it before from past Presidents.

Are ceps officers being paid well and the answer is BIG NO. when others are enjoying fat fat salaries on single spine. gov. shd paid ceps officers what they are due especially when they are expected to collect revenue for the state for nobody can live in a poor state and be expected to be collecting revenue, it doesnt gell.

If any CEPS personnel thinks s(he)is not being paid well they should find other jobs. They are not compelled to work for CEPS or for that matter, any government agency.

Just do the shake up and stop the fear and panic situation ... do you know how the morale of officers will be affected ... how officers will make their 'last show' before such shake-up is implemented ... could this announcement have been made secret until Govt was ready ... NDC and Ayariga still have a long way to go on information management.

USELESS GHANA LEADERS ONLY THINK ABOUT EXTORTIONATE IMPORT DUTIES AS A WAY OF REVENUE GENERATION BY CEPS AND GRA.

QUALITY SERVICE DELIVERY AT THE NATION'S PORTS AND AFFORDABLE TAX REGIMES TO STIMULATE IMPORTS AND ECONOMIES OF SCALE HAVE RATHER TAKEN A BACK SEAT.

MEANWHILE, GHANA HAS ONE OF THE LARGEST NUMBER OF ECONOMICS PROFESSORS IN LEADERSHIP POSITIONS IN THE PUBLIC SERVICE WHOSE ONLY JOB IS STAYING IN THEIR AIRCONDITIONED OFFICES CHATTING WITH THEIR GIRLFRIENDS AND CREATING OPPORTUNITIES FOR LOOTING THE STATE.

If Ghana is ever going to be well managed, this particular organisation will need to be overhauled; root and branch. Has the government the balls to do so? Well, if I were to be Mahama and NDC, I would because that move will open the chocked system and address the chronic and wholesale corruption we are experiencing everywhere.

The government will then see how brisk businesses will operate and business will also enjoy liberalied manifestations across board. There will be efficiency everywhere and revenues will be always handy to repair roads etc. If Mahama should aim to leave any legacy for the NDC, this should be it; for, gone will be the days when a simple saloon car will cost billions to tax and no more will creative business-minded Ghanaians be frustrated by selfish custom officials at ports and harbours.

If this government wants to be electable, that is if it should have its own identity, then this is one area it must COMPLETELY OVERHAUL. It will undoubtedly be difficult to take on such a habitually corrupt and entrenched group but it could also a highly rewarding in terms of social, economic and political needs of the country.

COME AGAIN,GHANANI. GO ROUND THE BORDER POSTS & U WILL KNOW THAT CEPS OFFICERS ARE NOT AS RICH AS U THINK. BY THE WAY, WHERE DID THE NDC GOV'T GET THE MILLIONS OF CEDIS FROM TO PAY WOYOME & ALL THE OTHERS AS SETTLEMENT DEBT? THE LITTLE THAT THE 'CORRUPT CEPS OFFICIALS' COLLECTED IS STOLEN & SHARED AMONG PARTY MEMBERS, INCLUDING U (GHANANI). SHUT YOUR DIRTY & FILTHY MOUTH & ADVICE YOUR LEADERS TO UTILISE THE LITTLE THAT WAS COLLECTED INTO THE CONSOLIDATED FUND. BY THE WAY ARE U AWARE THAT THE RLG LAPTOPS ARE GIVEN $60.00 AS THE COST PRICE BY THE GOV'T? THAT IS A GOOD SOURCE OF LEAKAGE

The Kuffour NPP Government induced most of these judgment debts inherited by the NDC Government. These are judgments handed down by reputable international courts, and these debts must be honoured. Of course, the NDC Government is obliged, to pay for these debts from the taxes collected from the Ghanaian tax payer, who, sadly has been done in, in the past, by the so-called "rule of law NPP" bigots.

How long will the shake-up last,and who will do the shake-up? The right approach is constructive questioning to understanding the problems and constructive answers to solving it.

1. How effective is CEPS' internal controls?
2. How manual is their system of operation?
3. What can be done to modernize their operations through technology and minimize human intervention.
4. How much will it cost us to modernizse the operation verses maintaining the status-quo?

The foregoing is problem solving strategies not fear mongering.

This two dept are vital if Ghana is to move forward in terms of developments, revenue speed up growth nation building. In Britain, the government depend on taxes to expand its infrastructure. If Mahama wants to write his name in the history book of Ghana , then he is on right principlesof industrialisation.

Only if revenue collected is used meaningfully and not wasted on filling chronic or pepertual potholes on our roads.
