Ghana Union of Traders’ Associations (GUTA) has opened its doors for all political parties willing to engage its members to do so.
GUTA said such engagements will afford traders an opportunity to make inputs into the manifestoes of the political parties.
“As we are in election year (2024), the leadership of the Ghana Union of Traders’ Associations has deemed it necessary to direct all its member associations nationwide to open their doors for constructive engagement with all political parties that may approach them, especially, for inputs into their manifestos. This will enable the political parties share their visions with the association, as well as know the needs of the trading community and tell us how they (Political Parties) will be able to meet those needs,” a press release signed by the President of GUTA, Joseph Obeng, said.
According to the press release dated January 29, “As trading is an integral part of the economy, such interactions with political actors will enable the business community to do critical and proper analysis of the parties and their capabilities, which will inform us well about them.”
