They are not hungry but greedy and cheats. Why not name those picked up? Can we have a tribunal in Ghana to handle such high level corruption. Such a tribunal should be chaired by Martin Amidu.

CORRUPTION COURTS IN GH
WE NEED CORRUPTION COURTS IN GH.
WE NEED A SYMPOSIUM TO ADDRESS WHY BRIBERY N CIRRUPTION STILL PERSISTS IN GH.
WHY DO PPL ENGAGE IN BRIBERY N CORRUPTION?
IS IT THE SALARY NOT ENUFF? FIX IT, PAY THESE WORKERS WELL
IS IT GREED? IF YOU FEEL YOUR SALARY IS NOT ENOUGH FOR YOU, GO N GET 2ND JOB. DOLT HARASS PPL FOR BRIBES.
THIS IS UNLAWFUL AND A CRIME IN ITSELF.
THOSE IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR WHO ARE WRONG AND CHARGED WITH CORRUPTION BY THE POLICE/STATE WILL BE TRIED THERE.
MALAYSIA HAS A SIMILAR CONCEPT AND IT IS REAPING REWARDS.THIS IS THE ONLY WAY THESE STUPID ANIMALS WILL EVER LEARN.
ARREST THESE FOOLS, JAIL THEM UNTIL A HEAVY BOND/BAIL IS PAID. GATHER THE EVIDENCE AND TAKE THEM TO COURT. THE CHIEF JUSTICE MUST PUT THEIR FUCKING FOOT DOWN! CONFISCATE THEIR ASSETS AND PAY OFF THESE MISMANAGED PROJECTS WITH THEIR PROCEEDS FROM THE PUBLIC AUCTION.
THEN JAIL AND PUBLISH THEIR NAMES IN THE MEDIA. NAME AND SHAME THEM. NKWASIAFOUR! NOT UNDER MY WATCH!
AHA NA WO B3 DA!
the pressing immediate problems confronting the countRY GHANA ARE - GALAMSAY EVERYWHERE, no electricity, no water, rife in corruption, high incompetence levels, etc.
At the moment JOHN MAHAMA has NOT articulated any vision for the country and his governance. Ghanaians don't know what he stands for except his mere promises and lies.
For sustainable socio-economic development Ghana needs ACCOUNTABLE GOVERNANCE not mere promises without action as characterised BY MAHAMA'S "leadership".
Argentina’s president has announced increases of as much as 35 percent in cash handouts to the poor, students, pregnant women and retirees.
President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner said the programs also will reach nearly 700,000 more children, expanding the social safety net and encouraging consumer spending this election year. She said the total cost of the subsidies would grow $7.8 billion a year.
GH MUST FIND A SOLUTION TO THESE PRESSING ISSUES: high level corruption, CITIZEN IDENTIFICATION, insecurity, unemployment, LACK OF INFRASTRUCTURE and infrastructure decay as the major problems confronting africa's development.
LOOK, YOU CAN BROADEN THE TAX BASE AS MUCH AS YOU WANT...UNREALIZED CAPITAL GAINS, GIFTS TO FAMILY/PERSONAL CHARITIES, TAXING THE RICH, ETC...YOU CAN CLOSE ALL THE LOOPHOLES ALL YOU WANT, BUT IF YOU DONT FIND A WAY TO DEAL WITH PUBLIC SECTOR CORRUPTION. U END UP PREACHING TO THE CHOIR.
REDUCE GOVT SPENDING
LOWER PUBLIC SECTOR SALARIES
MORE MANUFACTURING
CORRUPTION COURTS
MORE PRIVATE SECTOR ROBUST BUSINESSES
LOWER IMPORTS AND FREE TRADE.
WE NEED AN ATTITUDINAL CHANGE TO MAKE THE ECONOMY WORK IN GH.
PROGRESS IS A MODEL OF PRODUCTIVE DESTRUCTION. U NEED TO MAKE MISTAKES BEFORE YOU SUCCEED. THE GOVT SHOULD PULL BACK AND ALLOW THE ECONOMY TO PROGRESS. TOO MUCH GOVT INTERVENTION STIFLES PROGRESS.
GO TO MAHAMA BANK IN USA,HE HAS 170MILLIONS DOLLAS IN HIS ACCOUNT. HE ALSO USED GHMONEY TO BUY JET.

Whether KU4 or Busia the port is there for people to steal, especially those in power. Tell me how many people/workers depend on their salaries at the end of the month.We are all thieves. Always "connection" and you talk about KU4. MY FRIEND, AKUFFO ADDO WILL DO THE SAME FOR HIS FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES. ASK YOURSELF THIS QUESTION. AM I DEPENDING ON MY SALARY EVERY MONTH? iF YOU SAY yES THEN YOU ARE A LIAR.

Somebody should act to instill some form of discipline into our thick head. The rot should not continue as it is. Does it make sense to contract loans while we can generate enough revenue to manage some sectors of the economy? Those who are manning the ports are paid and why should they pocket the revenue that should go the nation's coffers?

Finally, I am beginning to like President Mahama! HIs action on illegal mining, and now on corruption at the ports is definitely something to praise him for. This is what I expect of our leaders regardless of party. Do the business of the people by ensuring security, transparency, and targeting of public officials who have been using their positions of authority to dupe the nation and make life difficult for the ordinary Ghanaian! Continue on this path, Mr. President, and I am sure Ghanaians will reward you by supporting your leadership. Kudos, and thank you!

MOD-Finance/Payroll. Worst at this sector; Entitlements meant for the vunerable people in this section; (the widows of dead service pesonnels, the injured and disabled pesonnels) are maniputed by few individuals in the Finance Division (Accounts/Payroll Section)of the MOD, to build masions all over Accra and beyond. Both previous and recent officials need to be investigated, named, shamed and prosecuted. Everyone is watching!

Of these so-called graduates passed through the brick and mortar edifices without have`nt anything about - ethical behaviour or even the actual course material! While certain students specialized in leveraging 'bottom power', others'bought' their way and came out with mere paper qualifications. The irony though is the studious ones who devote time and energy to serious learning are the ones who cannot fing jos when they come out,and it is really sad.

At every single stage of trying to obtain land certificates many of the people in the office demand huge cash-in-hand bribe money, far in excess of the legal fees required. If you do not pay these huge bribes your application is delayed and delayed and delayed, day after day, week after week and month after month to totally frustrate you into paying these bribes. No bribes?...then no certificate will ever be issued by the lands office!! Why can this be so in this new administration ? The Government should therefore also target all the lands certification offices and root out all of this blatent and very open corruption, which is known to every single person who is trying to register plots of land. Mr President, it is up to you to sort out this department and make it corruption-free

A good start but the hand of the law must extend to all governmental institutions. INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICSE is the worst of them all. They collaborate with big multi- companies to evade taxes while they harash petty traders.

Let this be the beginning of real change. The money that Ghanaians can use to start real businesses if often stolen from them by government employed thieves, this keeps US from developing our own Country and allows foreigners who have more money to be successful where the local Ghanaians could.

Fmr. employee who is now an MP to expose all the 'shady dealings' at the ports of entry,particularly, Tema,these very senior offcials continued to carry out their nefarious activities to the detriment of the country! Let`s hope the AG`s dept does not 'screw up' this docket too,so this greedy officials can be punished by the courts.
There is no question the bungling of previous prosecutions relating to earlier 'sting operations' carried out in 2010 and 2011 is what gave corrupt officers the assurerance to continue with their dasdardly activities unfazed.
