Complaint
The driver picked goods from kpasa heading to Côte d'Ivoire. Upon getting to the barrier, the Officer realized that his "laissez-passer" expired and tried to make driver pay a fine. Due to language barrier, the 2 parties could not communicate. The Police then asked the driver to call anyone who could facilitate their communication.  
Progress update note
The driver GSA for their intervention. The Police explained to GSA staff that the driver's undertaking has expired and they have picked goods from a village heading to Côte d'Ivoire.

GSA staff explained to the Officer that fine for overstay is only payed to Customs at the border, and also the (foreign) drivers are permitted to pick goods from any part of Ghana to any transit countries.
