Yes, MP, you have my support. Go ahead and expose them now. It is not only CEPS; the Police are equally rotten. But is it only these two? No. Ghana Water, ECG, Internal REvenue Services, VAT and even right inside the Ministries. OUR SOCIETY IS ROTTEN TO THE BONE AND UNLESS WE ALL DECIDE TO FIGHT THE DESEASE, WE ARE DOOMED. Kan Dapaah sat at the Public Accounts Committee and listened to horror accounts over the years but how many of those THIEVES have been prosecuted? I don't think my suspicion that he himself has also probaby soiled his ten fingers hence the eternal silence is wrong. MP GO AHEAD NOW. OUR SOCIETY IS TRULY ROTTEN

Corruption, corruption, corruption. It has always become the household name in Ghanaian houses and among its government agencies. This is exactly what is going on in Ghana at the present. Let me tell you, if Ghanaian in the Diaspora are serious and also well organized then trust me we can bring any corrupted govt or leadership in Ghana down in a matter of days by using the courts and by blackmailing them all around the world about their corrupted activities they engage in. What I saw in Ghana recently was that the Ghana police force and their systematic corruption specifically targets visitors and Ghanaians arrive home from abroad on visit. Particularly when one is driving with the DVLA's own created foreign plate cars and trucks. It then becomes their 'Christmas booty" and if you like illegal,or ill-acquired money, anytime these policemen and women see any of such plates driven by. Now lets tell Ghanaian leadership and politicians that enough is enough with bribery and corruption.

How could a sensible ghanaian say this? U must be a fool to say he cant do anything. Have u lost a container or an item at the Tema port where nobody, even CEPS couldnt tell how it vanished from the port yard?

CORRUPTION in Ghana, and for that matter in Africa, is the bane of our SNAIL-PACE economic, technological and social development. We are, indeed, heading toward “modern day and sophisticated SLAVERY.”

Ghanaian importers and folks in the Diaspora are being charged through their noses at our sea ports, but much of it is winding up in private pockets. We’ve schools still in the 21st century that are being conducted under trees—at least 1,400 in Ghana are in the ugly league. “People are shitting at the beaches, or using the dirty and stinking bomber latrines, no good drinking water for many, daily power outages, risking lives on bad roads, no medicines at hospitals and clinics, etc., etc., BUT our officials are enriching themselves instead of using the collected tax money to provide some of these essential services.”

How the hell couldn't we use the revenues from our Cocoa, Diamonds, Bauxite, Iron ore, Manganese, Timber, now Oil and the gargantuan LOANS we have contracted, loan forgiveness, HIPiC funds, free Foreign Aid, Annual National budget support of about 78% of our budgets—from donor nations, etc., etc., TO TAKE CARE OF ONLY 25 MILLION PEOPLE?

CHINA has a population of 1.5 billion people, but can house, feed, cloth, educate, employ, entertain, discipline all these people, while Ghana is damn LAWLESS, CORRUPT, INCOMPETENT and downright full of BUFFOONS & NINCOMPOOPS!!

When will we wake up and say enough of the corruption, incompetent and foolishness is enough?

If you have credible evidence, send it to the press and the president's office or just shut up. Empty threats doesn't do the country any good.

The pot calling the kettle black.
What did this guy not do when his kinsman Ewuntoma was the Commissioner of Cutoms?
As far back as the late 90s, he owned the building housing the Commercial Bank along the Spintex Road, some houses within that area of Nungua and Daboya House around Taifa.
All these were acquired when this guy was a junior officer.
Ask any Customs officer who lived at the Airport Customs Barracks with him and you would be told how he used to carry millions of cedes received from smugglers in cartons kept in his car boot.How can this kind of corrupt person exposé another corrupt colleague.
He could only expose his corrupt colleague Abdulai Red , his kinsman who he used to operate with.Abdulai was dismissed from the Service and only got re-engaged when their party returned to power.He is now stationed at the Tamale Collection of the Service.

If his kinsman Ewuntomah was CEPS Commissioner and he owned property, then he knows what he is talking about. Now his kinsman is the President so dont underrate what he is capable of doing.

You vote retirement benefits for even the Mugabe MPs. You backdate your increase in salary for 4 years. Yes customs are corrupt but why do expect them to be good in isolation?
