This director has a low IQ and should not lead any organization/government department in any capacity, his ideas are tantamount to brain dead or suspicious of brain developmental issues, if you want to do something real serious with corruption in the office you are heading, please concentrate on the country main Harbours. Business men do carry multiple phones, we Ghanaians culturally do give gifts to loved family members any time one visit home, please stop this nonsense, AI era, we need big thinkers who can help shape Ghana economy with great ideas.

Most Ghanaians i know carry at least two personal phones on them. So if i'm from outside coming to Ghana and carrying two to five phones , it should it be a problem. If the government want to rake on taxes, they should focus on real-estate taxes. A lot of Ghanaians are evading taxes in that area. The houses should be mapped electronically and tax base on footage.

Our utmost aim is always frustrate our citizens. After airport charge airport usage of $100 per passenger per use, meaning with a return trip, &200 is thrown on the ticket. Only in Ghana.

Look, in European Union, if you carry just ONE NEW mobile phone (or any other electronic device) and you bought the product outside the EU, you have to pay DUTY on it. It does not matter who is going to use it, be it yourself, Jesus or God. In the pre-Brexit era, products from UK were exempted from duty, but currently the duty on products from UK is very heavy.
The fact that you are carrying NEW phones for some relatives DO NOT EXEMPT you from paying duty on them.
Ghanaians ALWAYS have reason to argue on how violate laws and regulations. How can your country develop with such a mindset?

No country in Africa targets portable phones for tax. Why should Africa emulate what happens in the EU? And it sounds about right in your demented mind.
I was in Dakar, Senegal last month with 7 phones. Once they were not in their original packages and I told them they're for friends, the Douaniers said nothing.
I had close relations in the CEPS, all they did was extort travelers and took items they even didn't need. We almost always ended in fight anytime I mentioned corruption in Ghana. Check, it would surprise you to know how many houses each of those thieves at the GRA have.
