Members of the National Concerned Spare Parts Dealers Association, have served notice they will soon demonstrate over the “government’s insensitive increase in taxes, high import charges and the inability to stabilise the dollar as promised.”
The march is slated for Friday, 21 September 2018 in Accra.
A statement signed by Kwabena Agyei, Chairman of the Association said: “The above-mentioned issues coupled with government’s introduction of its Bench Mark Value (BMV), which has almost tripled charges at the ports, have overburdened our members.
“We, therefore, wish, as law-abiding citizens, to register our dissatisfaction toward the government through a nation-wide demonstration which starts from Accra on the above-mentioned date.
“We wish to reiterate our commitment towards a peaceful demonstration.”
