Mr Clement Boateng, a leading member of GUTA, urged members of Parliament harbouring the idea of amending the GIPC Act to enable foreigners to engage in retail business, to shelve it. “If you are considering amending the law you must as well consider allowing foreigners to contest as Members of Parliament in Ghana. Mr Boateng advised members to exercise patience, refrain from attacking foreign shops, and follow directions from their leaders on the next steps. Members of GUTA, as part of a series of actions to get the Government to enforce the law over the years, had held press conferences, locked up shops, sent a petition to GIPC and the President.
