    GRA staff are all thieves and useless. They are the cause of most of our problems. Bawumia should sack all of them and employ the young graduates

    Taxes are too many and too high in Ghana. Only public sector workers pay income tax in Ghana. A lot of workers in the informal sector of the economy don't pay income tax in Ghana.
