The Abossey Okai Spare Parts Dealers Association has issued a three-day ultimatum to foreigners engaged in retail trading within the enclave, demanding that they shut down their shops or face enforcement action.
According to the Association, the activities of these foreign traders contravene Ghana’s investment laws, distort fair competition, and threaten the survival of local businesses.
Speaking at a press conference in Accra, the General Secretary, Gifty Lovelock Naana Fianu, warned that if authorities fail to act, the group will enforce Section 27(1) of the GIPC Act, 2013 (Act 865), even through citizens’ arrest.
“We are giving them three days. Today, we will go round and speak with them politely to ensure they understand. On Wednesday, we will engage their leaders. If they refuse to listen, we will involve the authorities,” she said.
She added that letters would be sent to the police and other relevant institutions, after which the Association will not hesitate to take action if necessary.
