    Begging is a crime in some countries. It puts undue pressure to give and I don't think we should encourage it. Ghanaians have become beggers and that's a shame.

    The real criminals are inside the airport not at the parking lots. The customs and the immigration officers are unbelievably corrupt.
    Are the inspectors or the Board of Directors in charge of the airport telling the whole ...

    What a fool, too foolish to comprehend the damage that their begging will cause Ghana.

    I agree with this man. Begging is harassment, and must be discouraged, but not with dismissal. I think they should be suspended. The real criminals are being protected by their colleagues and superiors and are walking freely.

    Initially I was upset with this man's position,
    but after reading the article, I agree with him, for all the reasons he gave. Begging is harassment of passengers and a blot on the image of Ghana and it must be discouraged, ...

    At the airport the real and persistent beggars are the Immigration Staff. Especially those at the Exit points when people are leaving Ghana. They always beg me for money and do so once they’ve taken my passport to check and ...

    Gbede you must be stupid for thinking that it is right people to beg for money at the counties point of entry. Tell me, which civilised country allows people to do that at their airports?

    Nonsense, who told you have to commit a crime before you are fired from work. Lateness to work is not a crime, sleeping on the job is not, quarrelling with a colleague at work is neither, but you can get sacked for all of th ...

    Gbede does not know what begging at the gateway to Ghana means for the country’s image.
    But this is “the Ghana we like”.
    Sore state for us all.

    You don't need to beg for the jobs you are paid to do. Tips are different from begging. If we don't stop that habit, begging will turn to be a cash and carry policy. We shouldn't encourage that at all.

    You park your car at the airport and an attendant expect you to give him or her a dash. You enter the airport and if you use the toilet the attendant ask you for coins. It is very very embarrassing. . The question I pose is : ...

    Why should they be begging for money from travellers? Are they not paid every month for the work they do? The manner they beg for money from travellers amount to harassment and extortion. Perhaps this jackass has never travel ...

    This is a typical example of some types in the NDC which Mahama must monitor carefully. The fact that he does not see anything wrong with the behavior of the airport staff says a lot about his moral and ethical standing. He s ...

    Gbede, stop these „bla, bla“ and go have a seat somewhere. These guys are employees of a company that pays them salaries monthly. They have chosen to work here irrespective of the salaries. Yes, it is not forbidden to beg ...
