Accra, Aug.23, GNA—The Trader Advocacy Group Ghana (TAGG) has urged President Nana Addo-Dankwa Akufo-Addo to expedite action on assenting to the Ghana Shippers’ Authority (GSA) law.
It said the law by all standards would reposition Ghana in the global commercial shipping scene.
A statement signed by Mr David Kwadwo Amoateng, President, TAGG, and copied to the Ghana News Agency, said GSA had continuously opened its door for consultation and engagement on the portions of the law that the business community expressed concern about, and had remained open and collaborative on that front.
It said the new law was in the interest of the multiple stakeholders of the shipping and logistics sector, and that any attempt to stifle it would only be in the interest of a few who may not necessarily have the interest of traders as well as the general citizenry of Ghana at heart.
TAGG assured the public that the law would enable better fortunes for shippers and all those in the commercial shipping business as rightly espoused by GUTA.
‘‘We urge all stakeholders to remain at the table of discussion with the GSA as the necessary steps are taken to work on the L.I.,’’ it stated.
