Customs on auto pilot since the inception of this administration of Hamed the clueless one, how can you sack all those that knows the dont's and cons of the service and expect miracle over night. None of them was either indicted of corruption or wrong doing, impunity in it finest at best. Hope they will prove me wrong but this a wrong move that will cause the nation a huge collosal lost of huge revenue

Excellent, I hope the officers taking over from them will sit up and do their jobs effectively.
