  This task force shd rather focus on the country's entry points to confiscate these textiles b4 they even enter the country. Leave the poor cloth seller alone.

  It's a corrupt country with corrupt leaders. and it always the poor that ends up suffering the most. For sure, custom officers get paid in order to allow those inferior merchandise through the borders. Once the merchandise is in the system, it becomes a duty of local authorities like the "task force " to fish out those goods. They also either get paid to look away or just seize the goods...then awaits the public 5o commend them on their works..... whereas, this Task Force wouldn't exist if the customs were doing credible and transparent jobs. So the civil servants occupying high government positions and offices who are supposed to be protecting the country rather cause problems for the government to appoint other officials to clean up after them...and it goes to the lowest level... unnecessary usage of citizens tax..

  Every business is competitive. There is the need to diversify, for traditional clothes alone can no longer support your survival. Other products such as dungoree, underwear etc materials may improve your situation. Coordinate with supplies, customers etc to reduce cost and to meet their needs to capture more market share. Hiving employees should be the last resort due to training cost incurred. Oops dumsor is a pain

  Ghanaian industries need to be innovative so that they can compete. They need to get a CEO who can bring new ideas to the table.

  The textile industry was managed by Chinese! Abraham Koomson be honest! goods from China are not inferior. Those who buy are the best judges. find out how much duty is paid on a container of that. find out the tax paid by those factories being mentioned. Dumsor would sack the remaining staff.
