The Ghana Union of Traders’ Associations (GUTA) has warned that the current unstable power supply is forcing merchants to keep fuel and generators at their stores, a situation that foreshadows danger for public spaces like avenues and arenas where people congregate for business.
According to a statement signed by GUTA Director of Communications Joseph Paddy, “this is not only against the safety and security of our markets but also a dangerous practice necessitated by the dumsor phenomenon, which needs to be fixed expeditiously.”
The union, in the statement, demanded a load-shedding timetable to help traders plan their activities accordingly.
The union claimed that their operations are now out of order due to the power crisis.
“We express our solidarity with all those affected by this avoidable dumsor crisis and call for urgent action by the government to alleviate the hardship we are going through, especially the business community,” GUTA added.
