The Ghana Union of Traders’ Associations (GUTA) has dissociated itself from remarks made by its president, Dr. Joseph Obeng, on the need for President John Dramani Mahama to retain the E-Levy to support SMEs and the proposed Women’s Development Bank.
GUTA, in a statement, stated that the views expressed by the President are his personal views and do not represent the official stance of the association.
Dr. Obeng advised the new government to retain the E-Levy, which it promised to scrap, and use the proceeds to fund developmental initiatives, including financial support for women in trade and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
But GUTA says the views expressed by the president do not represent their views.
“We wish to emphatically state herein that his opinion does not represent the stand of GUTA on the matter, though we respect his personal views.”
