Sometimes it is shocking with certain high profile errors or favouritism to say the least. Is this to suggest that among the teeming human resources at GRA there are no persons so qualified to do what these retirees are being asked to come and do? If the answer is even yes, then the retirees themselves are not qualified to do the job again. They should have trained their subordinates for a day like this. If they did not then they could be said to be greedy but if they did kudos and they should be bold to suggest those they trained as their replacement and stay to enjoy their blessed retirement.

Are we sure the facts are as reported?
Anyway who is the authorized person to make appointments into the public service?

Kindly get to Customs and you will find that there are more happenings with regards to this promotion saga than what have been reported.

This happened at Minerals Commission. They cleared all the top guys and put Party sympathisers there.

Yes! This is politics at its highest peak. Information from insiders indicate that Charles Sabblah started boasting, even before he retired that he was going to come back to customs better than before. Now you see!

Rather than the Chief of staff waste time appointing retired guys why not address the recent general PROMOTIONS which was fraught with RISKS,INCOMPETENCE,INEPTITUDE,INEFFICIENCY, and above all CORRUPTION.

WHEN HAS THE LINGUIST BECOME THE AUTHOR. IS THE CHIEF OF STAFF ONLY A TOWN CRIER OR THE ORIGINATOR OF MESAGES?

It is sad we read politics into everything.
I personally know those officers. They are no nonsense officers who think about the nation and not their pockets. Go check on their track records at CEPS.

The seat of govt. is doing this to improve the revenue collections.
The incompetent ones who only think about their pockets are hiring press men to write imbalanced articles.
Those at the seat of govt. are not stupid and know what they are doing.

Revenue required for nation building is going into individual pockets. The govts. wants to do something about it and politicians are complaining. The same people complain about lack of amenities.
How do we get the amenities if we continue to allow bribery and corruption at the points of collection.
Go see what is happening in the ports of Ghana.

Please, please, please! You know NOTHING, absolutely NOTHING about those officers. Go to James Town Office where one of them was at one time the Sector Commander and check his record. Why was he removed just before his retirement was due? If you want to defend them do so with their political inclination, but not their track record at CEPS. Come again.

Maybe you are one of those who give a dog a bad name to hang it.
These officers have been well known in CEPS to be aggressive and hardworking people. Some of them were even in task forces that brought improvement to the revenue base at the time. That is the reason they are being called not political colouring.
How do you which parties they voted for?

Some of you 'skin pain' guy always want to tarnish other's reputation.
Maybe you are one of those instigating the press to write all the trash but it will end nowhere.
Stop politicizing everything in Ghana. It will do us no good.

This article is preposterous! Why defending them if they are not able to mobilise revenue and meet their set target because of their excessive bribe collecting motives? Let the government bring back old but competent officials to start the capacity building process as long as they will also not come back only to create another means of collecting bribe.

Change the system. Pay low base salaries, top up with commissions based on revenue collected, release those who do not meet annual targets, take in new recruits yearly to replace non performing ones. This should apply from top to bottom. Targets should be reviewed annually. This will change the agency in 5 years.

Corruption & underperformance have beset this authority for years. Why these actions now? It must be an election year

Well done, Chief of Staff. The changes and the promotions are heartily welcome. Surely the newly promoted officials are no square pegs in round holes. I congratulate them.

How can you get funds to purchase oil to run your generators to produce electricity in this country when you practice this high level of nepotism.
