why shouldn't we call pepeni a fool as its not an insult but a fact . All these scandals ,tribal ethnic biased anti Akan ministerial appointments non action on worthy projects and action on foolishness and stupid corrupt deals. his mentor is kuffuor whose greatest achievement was to give all our gold fields to foreigners who dont invest a single penny in our economy but take out over 10 billion dollars a year . his weak ayigbe national security could not advise him to do what president putin of russia did , nationalise the mines and give it to local corrupt Akans and others , then tax them well. instead we run around trying to borrow this same money and watch as the various superpowers play with us , where is the wisdom in that ? pepeni you a big fool and chronically retarded as you have no shame, integrity , honor or decency yourself . you can only understand indecency and insults as thats what gets registered. instead of going out there to acquire technologies that will create jobs, factories and self reliance for our people you attend useless meetings that bring nothing. you have failed us like all the others before you and we look forward gloomy future because you wont step aside so those with courage knowledge and real projects based on sound macroeconomics take over. commot from there

Atuguba wanted his nephew to keep his job as an Executive Assistant toPresident Mahamah. Plain and simple. Atuguba was not trueful to Ghanaians when he opined that the SC panels various judgement was ready and lodged with the Secretary to the Courts. In fact he Atuguba was so anxious he read a wrong judgement which was corrected after 24 hours in the books. Atuguba is treacherous, dishonest, and did not exhibit objectivity throghout the deliberations In fact if dotse a Kuffuor had not allowed his tribal affliations with Tsikata to cloud his objectivity Mahamah could have lost 4 to 5. THE PETITIONERS in their own right should have taken him off the panel. Isnt it ironic that Rawlings appointees: ATUGUBA, GBADEGBE, AKOTO BAMFO, voted deciding that NO VOTER INFRACTIONS TOOK PLACE in the December 2012 election and that the PETITION was without merit?. GOD SAVE GHANA Nana will win hands down next time. IT is now open sected that ATUGUBA twisted Dotses arms to vote with him.

The Special Operation Unit (SOU) idea is ephemeral, IT IS A FIREFIGHTING TOOL TO HARRASS IMPORTERS. This approach to revenue mobilisation is not strategic, it is not sustainable and is short-lived.
Without a sustainable control and and accountability system, this firefighting approach to revenue mobilisation will not reach anywhere and it won't work.
This gangsterism approach to management confirms MAHAMA's incompetence and foolishness. The fact is, A FOOL, IS A FOOL, IS A FOOL. When MAHAMA is not being corrupt as evidenced by his personality, the is thinking FOOLISHLY. This SOU idea is a FOOLISH IDEA.

Human collecting them will mount to nothing, can't you computerised those offices with a siple account number so everyone who importer works there can pay directly into this accounts...

This is common sense....

Not necessarily. We can make more efficient use of the little we have. There's no point paying more to be stolen by useless politicians.

Tiny Ghana has more than enough to feed itself from it's own resources if managed well than this foolish attack on citizens by the government of thieves.

The Special Operation Unit, should not become another "giant that cannot be controlled" where all illegal activity will be channeled. It is a setup to ensure that all revenue goes into the government coffers and those entrusted with such task, should eschew all temptations and do their work with an open heart.

It is on record that the government loses over a hundred million dollars a week or a month at the Tema port and imagine this going into the government coffers. It will be great. So, the onus fall on those working at SOU to exhibit a sense of selflessness and honesty, something that is missing about Ghanaians.

We need patriotism and selfless people to turn things around. Without that nothing can work. There need to be a change in attitude towards work and the laws must work. The laws must work. The laws should not be a respecter of persons. If you commit a crime by misappropriating government funds the law must take its course.
Culprits must go to jail.
The recent incident of Aggudey going to jail is a tiny example of the beginning of good things to come. The President is keen on the debt saga report and that tells you he means business.
Can you imagine what happened under Kuffour regime? People pilfering left and right including the big man himself...every body...the speaker Sekyi Hughes and top prominent individuals.
Look at what happened at the Trade Ministry regarding the cassava initative...does that ring a bell? The billion of dollars siphoned... We are waiting for Alan Cash...to profess otherwise...

Wrong assertion. Revenue that will be used to improve the lives of the AVERAGE GHANAIAN does not exist. All state revenue is for the improvement of the lives of the useless politicians.

Woyome, SADA, GYEEDA, ISOFOTON is the order of the day. A new name given to Ghana's president is as he says "aboa" "kwasea" translated as animal, stupid a fool and or idiot. Jon Mahama's NDC is wrapped with thievery and criminality so much so that J.J. Rawlings is making plans to give him the needed firing squad. This man is so angry that he doesn't want to open his mouth. Throughout the world, no president has ever been a hardened criminal pass jon Mahama. No one will respect him. It is only those that share with him, the create loot and share company. Birds of the same feathers fly together.

MR. PRESIDENT, if you are really serious about revenue collection, you should start from home by cutting all MP's salaries in half including you Mr.president.At the time give our medical doctors and police officers double pay and turn our seaports airport into freeport because a country can not survive just by over taxing the poor people for revenue that type of government becomes like the PIMP and the poor Ghanaians become like...... Where is our oil revenue? No good running water, no adiquate electricity the economy is comletely in the toilet we need serious help the Banking system is not encouraging to borrow and invest. How can a business make it on 30% interest rate from the bank this is impossible.

The so called SOU does not need the support of any patriotic Ghanaian to do their work if they are doing it well. they should stick to the terms of reference given them.
