The government needs to withdraw Legislative Instrument attempting to limit the import of strategic products – Minority.*

President Akufo-Addo has been urged by the Minority in Parliament to rescind a law that aims to limit the importation of rice, fruit juice, margarine, fish, rice flour, sugar, and sixteen other “strategic products” right away._

Proponents of this rule, including Trade Minister Kobina Tahir Hammond, expect that it will boost local industry growth and the cedi’s value.

The trade minister’s approval is required for anyone wishing to import the chosen goods, according to the proposed rule. The minority leader referred to the regulation as a flawed policy that has to be withdrawn right away when speaking with reporters on Thursday, November 23.
