This is why there’s so much corruption going on at the various ports especially Kotoka AirPort! I have a package there right now, and these officers are asking me to pay outside the box. The sums of duty charges unaccounted for yearly can pay free SHS for 10yrs!!! Wicked!!!

AKUFFO ADDO IS A DISASTER ON GHANA
Akuffo Addo and NPP told us they have the men. Where are they? Dr. Anthony Osei Akoto told us, NPP didn't have any men. Within three weeks, they killed him. These animals told us they are a Centre Right Party. They don't even understand centre right philosophy. A Centre Right Party is business friendly. They cut taxes for businesses to grow and employ more people. I think majority of these animals believe in Thief Panama Kufuor's philosophy, that is, PROPERTY OWNING DEMOCRACY. Their understanding is that when they come to power, they steal all government properties and become very rich. Look at Cecilia Dapaah, Sir John, Insults Owusu and John Kumah. Within a short time in parliament or politics, these guys acquired properties in millions even more than the Prime Minister of Britain. Now a small port like Lome has taken all the businesses from Tema. The most worrisome aspect is that Akuffo Addo and his Sakawa boys don't listen to anybody.

It's crazy at Tema harbor. VST charges are greater than import duties. Many of the charges are duplicated. Above all, the officers and agents are corrupt. Tema harbor is daily becoming empty.

You are in power yet you are promising to reduce taxes when you are voted into power in 2025. I can't think far. By the time they leave no ship will dock at Tema.

At Mahama 's tenor, 100 MAN trucks could pass through Tema Port for free, you see? Make a railway from Togo to Ghana and bring all those containers from Lome. Tema Port is cribbing the Economy. I said it long time ago. EXPORT is also a problem at the Port. African nations like Ghana beers, but since prices have doubled, they import Heineken instead. Dr Economy you still can learn something.

1. We have borrowed to misused it. The money is not free we have to pay interest. So with high interest on the loans government has to squeeze the money from the people. For any major investment in Ghana hold on otherwise you will loose huge capital.
2 inflation is making doing business in Ghana useless. Because we import much and export less. So pressure is on the little dollar in the system
3 . Corruption as in point 1 , corruption, mismanagement, greedy is one destroying business

All the avenue we received money had been put on loan. Example Getfund money is on loan . Let say you work as a teacher and monthly salary is 2800 Ghana cedi, but you decided to go for 100,800 Ghana cedi loan at Ghana commercial bank with interest to build a house. But when you got that money you change your mind by spending the money on sidechicks, drinking expensive alcohol, taking lavish vacations and now the money is finished. But your house is not built, your salary will go towards interest and principal - the bank will take it. So now this family is on the serious suffering path. School fees will not paid, chop money for children will be ignore . This is the situation Ghana faces . This is only for getfund many of our resources has been loans too, like minerals, the harbor and others.

Other loans not attached to resources payment was postponed to 2025 by this Nana Addo government Aka Agyapade3 dealers to have total control over Ghana. The postponed payment due dates are near . When that hit it will be crazy.

WHEN I LOOKED AT THE CHARGES ON MY IMPORTED CAR, I was surprised to see Covid-19 and some stupid charges still imposed on us. I can’t believe that they charge for everything you can think of at the port.
