The political atmosphere is bad to the extent of sending away truly employed gov.workers out of jobs in the areas of health ,education and etc to nowhere,and i stand to be a typical example . And gov.is never ready to make corrections to call them back to office except to continue repeating the same mistake by recruiting underperforming office holder in leadership stands. But it wants to win 2024 general elections in the country.

Irrespective of whether Business taxes are high or low or whatever, why would a Minister condemn its tax or revenue collection agency and be apologetic to a foreign mission on their ’soil’ -embassy in Ghana. Hold your country high and find a better way to address national issues during meetings with foreign diplomats. The minister shows how a simpleton he is on this occasion. Do you for a minute think France would be apologetic to Ghana due to some issues with one of their government agencies? Hell, no! Learn to stand up and be respected for your country. This attitude is the reason why when foreign businesses sign business contracts with Ghana, they have the upper hand because they know your government do not believe in their abilities or themselves. They get all the tax breaks and you get nothing to show for your country. Listen, your country is always being psycho analyze based on what you all say or do.

GRA has become a gang of thieves. They are terrorising businesses with very crazy assessments and using the tax law requiring 30% deposit of their assessment before any challenge to terrorise businesses. The challenge has to be submitted to the very same commissioners sending out these people to do the dirty work. The activities of GRA have become extremely abnormal.

Blaming government officials instead of looking at the law or the tax system that mandate them to do what they are doing, what a joke, jokers.

Foolish dog of a minister.Your idiotic bawumia vomitted that you criminals in power performed better than any other government in the fourth. You bastards think you can lie your way to power again. Why are businesses relocating ,?. Rather , more businesses should have been coming in since you donkeys claims that you did better than John Mahama. In john mahama, time no businesses relocated . Instead a lot came from outside to do business in Ghana.
A group of wicked criminals and shameless liars destroying Ghana.

GRA don't harass foreign businesses only local ones. The foreign businesses complaining don't want to pay bribes like the Chinese, the Indian and the Lebanese businesses. Politicians should stop interfering in GRA work.

if GRA is fixed everybody would benefit including Ghanaian own businesses.

it's not like there would be a different GRA for French businesses and different GRA for local businesses.

GRA harass every business in ghana except those willing to pay bribes to officials.

Useless colo mentality. Clueless people in the high places. One country is driving these parasites out of their country another clueless people in a higher places are begging them to stay. It’s very sad democracy has totally failed Ghana. They even want to force our children to learn French while other countries in Africa is banning French language dress code.

Couple of weeks ago you were bragging about companies moving to Ghana because of your economic success. You cited Virgin Atlantic as a case in point. Why are you begging French companies to stay? If this is how the Asian economies ran do you think they would have attracted massive foreign investments?

What powers do you have to address the economic problems? Though you are the Minister, you are an outsider. Look, the French business community has little patience for bad economic policies, including bad hair cuts.

This government must be kicked out.It is a useless government. It is the unfriendly economic policies of the government that are driving away foreign investors from the country.cIf the exchange rate is 21 cedis to a pound or 17 cedis to a dollar how do you expect investors to keep doing business in Ghana? The purchasing power of the average Ghanaian is also poor.
