The Ghana Electrical Dealers Association and the Ghana Union Traders Association (GUTA) are demanding the closure of all retail shops belonging to foreigners by Monday, November 4, 2019.
The two associations claim the Ghana government has not fulfilled its promise of ridding the market of foreign traders in the retail market despite several appeals.

Public Relations Officer (PRO) for the Association, Samuel Addo says they are giving a deadline of up to Monday, November 4 for foreigners to close their shops or face their wrath.
The group has been complaining about what they say is the collapse of their businesses due to the invasion of foreigners in the retail business.
According to the traders, the activities of the foreigners contravene the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre’s (GIPCs) Act (Act 865).
Citing the closure of the Nigerian border to protect its country from the smuggling of goods into their country, the association said they will not tolerate the foreigners anymore.
