KOLA, you speak of this as an opportunity for hawkers? So you don't respect and value your constitution? Shame on you. Can a Ghanaian go to North Korea,China or Russia to establish a retail business? Can we all think of Ghana first?

The easiest job for our poor mothers and sisters is buy and sell so why are we allowing Chinese and Nigerians to take over? We must support the action of GUTA not condemn it . This is not a tribal issue or NDC/NPP. Think again my brother. The economy is collapsing, Dollar rising, Duties doubled overnight, Prices of goods tripled. God help us!

Responsible people care when traders also have to go on strike so that they can be heard and also for the laws of the country to be enforced.
Duah, retail business in Ghana is reserved for Ghanaians and not foreigners. That is the law of the land. If traders sell things made from somewhere, is it their fault? The government needs to create an atmosphere that is conducive to manufacturing and doing business. Recently, the state of New York came out with tax rebate for a period of 10 years to companies that locate their businesses to the state. Without electricity, water and security, how do you expect investors to do business in the country? The government has a lot of homework to do to attract companies and individuals to invest in the country so that there will be jobs.

Let's be wise and think about Ghanaians.We should not be political or tribalistic in this regard, neither should we appreciate foreigners who come as investors but end up doing buy and sell. Taxes are too much, Duties are killing, Exchange rate is making matters worse, Fuel prices skyrocketing. Ghana is on the verge of collapse and it is a sad story THAT NEEDS SINGING. LET'S SUPPORT GUTA

Most people don't know how many people got lost over night under ugly tribalist thief kufour regime. Some of us know how kufour was wicked to some particular tribe in Ghana. Npp during thief kufour regime dumped a lots of innocent people in a deep sea in the middle of the night, up till now, nobody knows about that. One thing is , Ghanaians don't report of missing people who are older, they only reports missing babies that is why people don't know kufour atrocities he has done to some tribes in Ghana.

BBC NEWS; your response tells us that you knew of all these but why didn't report a single instance? Give us a proof or a name of someone WHO was dumped and tells us who dumped him or her.

When in 1983, Nigerians sacked over 1 million Ghanaians to Ghana to further collapse our economy, it took the political leadership of the maestro JJ Rawlings to turn things around.

Within a decade, no Ghanaian was willing to go to Nigeria for greener pastures. The tide had changed. That's what strong leadership can do. It could have even been better if not for the many coup attempts and vindictive opposition he suffered, like Nkrumah and Mills.

Rawlings changed the fortunes of this country. From the hungry days of 1983 to the better days of 2000. No wonder his party is still in power. God bless. The enemies, skin-pains, tribal bigots can go to hell. Who Jah bless, no one curse.

This idiot is going to destroy Ghana. It appears Mahama's understanding of politics is how to make money, promises and speeches. For how long before the camel's back is broken?

Do nothing government. When did the govt. notice that foreigners are infiltrating into our local businesses especially the Chinese? Go to any villages in the country and you will see Chinese hawking their inferior and contraband products on our markets. By the way how did they manage to get visas to travel into the country? And what proof do they give to our Foreign Office personnel that they will not engage in any profitable enterprises while in the country? As it is done to foreigners in China. Or is it business as usual; through bribery and kick-backs.

Ghanaians will miss Busia and his Alliance Compliance order. The very young ones did not know how foreigners were milking Ghana. Ghanaians are unemployed and foreigners have taken control of everything in Ghana

The foreign intruders are gradually penetrating into the street of Ghana to invade all level of business. It will be disastrous for our market women/men and the next generation if the government view this as investment.The Chinese are already demolishing the environment through their illegal and small scale mining.The government and people of Ghana must think about the country and stop their imprudent tribalism.

Do us a favour shut your shop for good. You are the cause of hardship in Ghana due to greediness. Competition is not bad thing.
