I don't think these Ghanaian officials Anas to expose them,before they stop all these corrupt acts.
In the first place, those Indians must be prosecuted and those Ghanaians, straight to prison, even before they are presented to court.

You're right, it's about corrupt people, especially at the top, & no administrative system can simply solve the problem. What is there to stop PMMC officials from undervaluing exports in exchange for bribes? Shaming, lengthy sentences & huge fines might help.

You're talking about prosecuting them?

No, it has to be the DEATH PENALTY straightaway.

This man is a joker. So who is he complaining to? Is he not a big-hitter in government? You are all corrupt. Ministry of lands &land commission are all government. If government itself cannot enforce its rules & regulations why do you blame Indians? The heavyweights in government are benefiting. Corrupt people. Give us a break.

SUCCESSIVE ASANTEHENES ARE NUMBER ONE SMUGGLERS OF GOLD BULLIONS (BARS)OUT OF GHANA.

FOLLOWED BY GHANA'S SUCCESSIVE PRESIDENTS, INDIAN AND LEBANESE BUSINESSMEN IN GHANA, THEN SAM KWESI JONAH'S AGENTS.

GHANA'S ECONOMY DOES NOT STAND A CHANCE IN THIS LOOTING SPREE BY GHANA'S ENTIRE LEADERSHIP.

EVERYBODY IS HELPING HIMSELF OR HERSELF AT THE EXPENSE OF GHANA.

THOSE WHO DO NOT HAVE A SHARE OF GHANA'S GOLD AND DIAMONDS HAVE RESORTED TO CREATE LOOT AND SHARE TOMAKE MONEY BY ALL SORTS OF CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES.

ONLY THE DEATH PENALTY CAN SAVE GHANA!

INDEED, GHANA HAS A LOT TO LEARN FROM CHINA'S DRACONIAN MEASURES AGAINST STATE FRAUDSTERS.

THAT'S WHY CHINA IS "FLYING HIGH" IN THE WORLD ECONOMY.

is only in ghana where fools can invite foreigners to come mine gold to steal. All for a mere bribe. even Anglo gold. Go figure how they think and respect their national assets, but when it comes to local,.... even ordinary security too - you cant do it right. instead getting police to go round beating poor people and judges letting of criminals. what else do you expect?

WHEN IT IS EXPORTED LEGALLY, WHERE TO THE MONEY GOES? IT GOES TO YOUR POCKET AND THAT ALSO HURT THE ECONOMY.

How can this go on in 21st century. If the president is serious how can exporters refuse to obey the directives of BOG. I am surprised this director is also playing a blame game. When people do shipment through PMMC for no reason they have to pass through hell to get their money from BOG. These directors and BOG officials for the reasons known to them would keep the money for days. Even the minerals commission claims they are legally supposed to give license to exporters so they give the license anyhow. Just a
simple electronic and manual keeping can do the magic. The president need to be patriotic first. Corruption is the root cause of all these.

WHY DOES GHANA HAVE TO WAIT FOR AN INDIAN TO COME MINE OUR GOLD, THEN WE TAX HIM FOR THE GOLD MINED?

DOES THIS MAKE COMMON SENSE?

DOESN'T GHANA HAVE THE COMMONSENSE AND EXPERTISE TO MINE OUR OWN GOLD, REFINE IT, ADD VALUE TO IT, THEN EXPORT IT.

WHY DO WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR INDIANS TO COME DO THIS FOR GHANA?

NO WONDER CHINESE HAVE ALSO JOINED THE GOLD LOOTING SPREE DUE TO GHANA LEADERSHIP USELESSNESS.

THEY (INDIANS AND LEBANESE) IN GHANA ALL DEAL IN MASSIVE EXPORT OF GHANA'S GOLD, TIMBER AND MANY OTHER RESOURCES IN GHANA IN COLLUSION WITH GHANAIAN AUTHORITIES.

Every businessman looks at smart ways to make profit. Develop countries try to work smart to take their share and keep being developed. Can you see where the problem is now? The smartness of the Indians lay bare who we truly are. The article states change in law for PMMC to issue licence right? Dont we know that a bad enacted law is worse of than not having any law. The Indians are plying through the loops and getting their way.
On the birthday day of Nkrumah, we can be smart to give a pointless national holiday rather than coming together and thinking smart

What is the managing director talk about they have mandate you to buy from small scale miner now you have giving the opportunity to India to been taking tax those that make sense This is a complaint I want lodge to the ministry of land and natural resources when you go to pmmc to sell they give you price that you can not get from mining site sometimes they tells there is no cash and be give you phone numbers and direction to go and sell so that they can for percentage what provoke you more is When sometimes you sell it to then they will tell you they can not paid more than 5,000 because order from bank of Ghana But to their clients they get it cash within 30 minutes because they make more profit than the government so should be hold responsible for that

Why do we think of..."after me, what do I care" ??
Sad situation for a whole country!
Many a time, I thought it was NO MORE RELEVANT to read Ghana news, but SADLY, I CAN'T STOP because I'm STILL a ghanaian by birth!
