  This is the worst decision ever proposed. Ghana is about to make the biggest mistake by allowing SPN. Exporters will transfer this new cost to importers. Already over 300 million dollars will go to a foreign company and for what, to do what Ghana customs already does and that's just the beginning. it is a scam a those so called experts are part of it. They have been trying for years to find a way to get money claiming it will help trade but it will line the pockets of those who have been looting African countries and undermining our integrity. How can making companies pay more to export to Ghana without transferring the cost to importers. Those in charge should be stopped, investigated and sacked. Only corrupt and backward African countries get aligned with this practices. The instant Ghana allows it, the company instantly makes millions, money that otherwise will go to Ghana now goes to some company in Belgium and obviously to the so called expert who are somehow claim this will help Ghana. Ghana already has customs and does not need duplication. This was tried a few years ago with veritas and I'm sure if probed deeply the people who tried it then will be connected this scheme to scam money using trade compliance as a pretext. Anyone who agrees with it should be investigated including any media outlet promoting it. if its not broke don't fix it. millions will just come out of the pockets of companies and exporters to Ghana and into a company in Belgium and to those been tasked with getting its implementation in Ghana. if it smells like a fish, looks like a fish, my people it is a fish. Once again this is very fishy and SPN must not be allowed in Ghana, it will cause more harm with the only people who will benefit is the company in Belgium. Africa should wake up and stop letting terrible entities use us for their benefit.

  The person who wrote the article said, exporters are not mandated to transfer this new cost to the importers, well who rlse is going to pay it. It will be passed on to the importers, which in turn increase prices depending on the item. Ghana already has a viable customs process and like countries in Europe and in Africa who do not use SPN, the system works well. this is just creating a money making scheme for a company in Belgium and those in Ghana who are set to line their pockets. they have been trying for a few years and they are close but we have to push them back. the cost will affect the ordinary Ghanaian on the street and a lot more. People spread the word for SPN to be stopped and kicked out of Ghana. We are 100 times better off without it. Especially since we have a customs that works fine and well. Remember my people there are Judas amongst us, all they want is to line their pockets whilst we suffer. Spread the truth, campaign to not just defer it but for the Ghana to put a stop to it. We should not allow Ghana to be colonised financially by imperialism Belgium. They should now be allowed to take money out of our children's hands and put in the hands of Belgium and those wicked people who claim to be Ghanaian, they are nothing but thieves and scammers, 419. let's put a stop to it today. Spread the word, let it be known how bad an idea this is. It is ludicrous and anyone who disagrees should have their account checked. There a number Ghanaians part of this and they need to be stopped, NOW. they and the company in Belgium should not be allowed to profit from this at the detriment of Ghana and Ghanaians

  And finally Ghana is not the same as Burundi, Equatorial Guinea, Soth Sudan and Togo. those are the ONLY African countries that are being exploited out of the 54 countries in Africa. One would hope Ghana has a lot more integrity and intelligence to stay away from this scam. it would be a dereliction of duty if we don't stop this terrible plot to make money of the back of the Ghanaian people. we wete on the impression imperialism and colonialism stopped a long time ago but it is obvious that some Africans are still backwards. only countries that are still been exploited are signed up to this and those are mentioned above. Are we saying the first African country to gain independence is so backwards that it would put itself in league with countries like Burundi and South Sudan. have we not learnt anything
