GUTA will not be there to pay for the rising interest on the loan. A good decision you took, Ms Ama.

It is true and everyone know that Ashantis dont like schooling but rather small and medium scale business men. Therefore this socalled GUTA happens to be most Ashantis as its membership. Now the NPP would use anything possible to derail the Mahamas administration. No wonder just after the failed demo in Kumasi they now use their Military Wing guta full of Ashanti youths to cause more problems in the country. Anyway as for Accra we stay by plan and their land lords will be waiting for them if they are not able to raise money due to strike. Finally its good that Ghanaians are fully aware of the evils deeds of the NPP and surely they will kill themselves before the 2016 arrives.

where is the strike fund if this is a union...In usa your union dues go toward the strike funds so if your are willing to protest(picket with sign) then you will be paid small salary from the union..www.teamsters.com..Your due is 2 times your hourly rate per month..so if you make $25 per hour, you pay union $50 per month...nobody can sit home with inventory and loans still going on

it is only the foolish traders that will close their shops. Do they knows how much the MPS are paid a month? GHC7,200.00 and when they come and deceive you to close your shop you listen to them.

The only thing very common to most Ghanaians is either causing a financial lost to an entity (doesnt matter if its gvmnt or individual) or Consciously looting an individual or entity. Every hustler (And that is either a nurse, doctor, pharcist, minister, car dealer, DCEs, painter, wholesaler...u name it..)thinks they can out smart each other. Not even for a quick second think maybe, just perhaps maybe this other person also has common sense. Completely Oblivious!!..How can people live like this and build a nationThe only thing very common to most Ghanaians is either causing a financial lost to an entity (doesnt matter if its gvmnt or individual) or Consciously looting an individual or entity. Every hustler (And that is either a nurse, doctor, pharcist, minister, car dealer, DCEs, painter, wholesaler...u name it..)thinks they can out smart each other. Not even for a quick second think maybe, just perhaps maybe this other person also has common sense. Completely Oblivious!!..How can people live like this and build a nation as one...very sad...like i always say and its always played down...atittudenal change amongst Ghanaians will do them alot of Good. The average Ghanaian thinks they have real people who will stand up for them. But less did they know. You have all these groups acting on behalf of opposition parties (This also includes current government). They have people everywhere. and they have infiltrated your minds with their lifestyles. So much so that an everage smart person in Ghana has knowledge of making *Konko Car*..u remember those made from the milk cans. But they will never look pass knowing how to turn that to steel and perhaps be able to sell it outside of the country. Meanwhile they will import painted car collectibles from china to decorate their fav places. Its ridicolous. And they ones who do wanna look pass that, gets blocked by lack of access to knowledge. Which it intends being these money choppers. So its cos 90 job for them. I guess if you were in their shoes, u will give up...hell nawww...stand up for yourselves...create the business for yourselves...let people among you lead you...the ones that actually understand your pain...and if they dont...revolt and take them down...others will learn...But in all...everything must be done peacefully...no voilence...that will feed into the energy of the politicians anyways....Just think about it

i am confused about what our traders are saying about the foreigners go to a shop at kantamanto in accra who sells tiles tell the shop owner you need 100sq metres of tiles to buy he will take the money then send you to the foreigners shop and buy it for you chip and pocket the rest of the money they call it connection. you can only know how much the man made from you when you go straight to the foreigners shop next time to buy. foreigners should be encouraged to do the retailing in ghana so the poor man can also fill the happiness the rich are filling now

Shame what difference will this strike make? Nothing, when the money is not coming they'll soon get back as they've just realize. And guess what GUTA officers still get their full pay.
