Government Is Very Disappointed At Guta’s Shop Closure – Deputy Minister of Trade and Industry

Michael Okyere Baafi, the Deputy Minister of Trade and Industry, has claimed that the Ghana Union of Traders Association’s (GUTA) decision to go on strike was premeditated with a specific goal in mind.

He asserted that despite discussions with the organization to resolve differences amicably, the goal of the current strike is to isolate the Nana Addo-led government.

Speaking in an interview on Neat FM, Hon. Michael Okyere Baafi made these pronouncements

” This is not the response government is looking to get, government is very disappointed in their action,” he said after he said the government has had a series of engagements with them to address their grievances.

” At least even if you won’t applaud the government, you won’t do something like this to make the government look very unpopular, that to us is not fair,” he stated.
