    They’re all shameless and corrupt workers at the workers. Twice I’ve been stopped and my luggage’s searched only for them to ask if they could have pair of shoes. Embarrassing. They use inspecting your luggage to check for duty but they turn around to harass you over your personal stuff. You have to be firm with the airport officials or else they’ll do away with your personal belongings.

    Bra Kofi it's not true, they're marking every bag with that red shit just to be able open it and ask you for money.
    When coming home last year I had no electronic devices but still had that red mark on my 2 bags and was asked to open it.
    When they opened and found my sneakers,shirts and footballs in the bag they then said "sorry",so that red mark is their way of getting to open every bag so they can ask for a dollar.

    Kofi I don't believe this because the last time I got the Airport there was nothing of this signal prompt .
    What I was having in the bags was only my personal clothes and 4 pairs of shoes 👟 for some kids.
    They called and was forcing me to open but I refused.
    Because I told them to provide a rapper before.
    They only want to create inconveniences sometimes😅😅😅

    Another sadness side was one of the Arab madam come with her ous maid.
    Bcos the woman dont understand the language, they were asking the lady how many dresses did her madam put in the bag. And other unnecessary questions.
    Imagine they opened their luggage and bring all the clothes n items out of the bag.
    Hmm i felt soo ashamed and sad for his house maid n her madam.

    Kofi, what is normal about this disgraceful behavior of officials collecting monies from people arriving at the Airport? Even when you are leaving Ghana they still harass you for money. It's a disgraceful act and instead for you to advicing them stop , you are rather encouraging by saying it normal. In fact it's very embarrassing. Why, are they not paid monthly for the work they do there? Why should they force people to gift them whiles they are not willing to give and if you refuse they punish you by opening your bag or find other excuses to delay you unnecessarily. You should be advocating for them to stop it rather than encouraging.

    You must have your facts right because the operations of the Customs officers at the KIA is awful. It is not done anywhere in the world that every time travellers reach their destination are asked to stop to be searched and it is not because they are doing their work duly diligently but for the fact that they are corrupt and want to extort money from travellers. It is a disgrace to our country that the customs officers at the KIA only target travellers they identify as Ghanaians to search their bags but not to none Ghanaians especially the whites. I will urge you to do a proper investigation into the work the ghana customs is doing at the KIA if you want travellers who have had bad experience with them to believe you have done a thorough investigations into their operations at the KIA.

    Bra Kofi please defend these guys at the airport. Ghana immigration only opens Ghanaian citizens luggages. It's kind a shame to Africans. You'll get to abroad and they'll be serving their own natives with good heart. When would a blacks stop fooling. Both departure and arrival at kotoka is full of begging Ghanaians for money. What a shameful employees we have at the airport. Soo funny you'll see grown men and women asking small kids for tips, I don't even know if our controller general doesn't have their names on the Ghana payslip. I'm truly disappointed with their services to we the black natives of their own.

    Kofi, it's never thue that your bag is opened in your absence. If a bag is suspected to contain a contraband item, the bag owner opens the bag in the presence of the custom officers. In Ghana, if the bag is opened in your absence, the possibility is that items have been stolen. We hope supervision remains tight as you claim.

When I got home and checked it was gone. Imagine if I had put all my money in there. I wish they can be sincere like some other countries.
