Veteran
Ghanaian
actor,
Kwaku
Manu,
has
bitterly
complained
about
exorbitant
import
duties
in
the
country.
In
a
viral
video,
the
award-winning
actor
raised
a
serious
concern
about
the
high
import
duty
in
Ghana.
As
stated
by
Kwaku
Manu
in
the
video,
a
BMW,
which
is
worth
$10,000
abroad
would
have
high
duty
on
it
when
shipped
to
Ghana.
After
asking
someone
to
check
the
duty
on
the
vehicle,
the
actor
revealed
it
would
cost
$30,000.
He
wondered
why
the
duty
on
the
car
would
be
more
than
its
price.
Mentioning
that
citizens
of
Burkina
Faso
have
been
clearing
their
goods
from
Ghana
due
to
the
unavailability
of
a
Harbour
in
the
country,
Kwaku
Manu
averred
duty
in
Burkina
is
cheaper
than
in
Ghana.
He
stressed
that
this
$30,000
duty
would
have
been
$10,000
or
$5,000
in
Burkina
Faso
and
Togo.
Kwaku
Manu
pleaded
with
Ghanaian
authorities
to
do
something
on
this
issue,
adding
that
it
contributes
to
high
pricing
in
the
country
since
Ghana
imports
almost
everything.
