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.
