Popular Ghanaian actor, Kwaku Manu, has bitterly complained about exorbitant import duties in the country.
He raised a serious concern about this in a video sighted by Zionfelix.net.
Manu shared in the video that 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.
