Executive Secretary to the Importers and Exporters Association of Ghana, Sampson Asaki Awingobet, has said the business community in Ghana are disappointed in the Akufo-Addo led administration for not implementing business-friendly policies.

According to him, although the government, through the Ministry of Finance, abolished some nuisance taxes, the effects of it has been nullified by the introduction of other taxes.

Speaking on AccraFM Wednesday, 1 August, Mr Awingobet stated that if the current government does not focus on policies that will help the business community, then the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) will lose the 2020 elections.

“The NDC administration also failed to assist the business community and they suffered electoral defeat for their actions.

“Unfortunately, the NPP administration is also doing the same things the NDC did, and for now we can only wait till 2020 and vote against the government,” he said.

He added: “Now they have introduced taxes on luxury cars without even consulting stakeholders. This tax is bad and will not inure to the benefit of importers of cars.

“All the so-called policies they introduced for businesses are not working. Go to Abossey Okai and speak to the spare parts dealers and they will tell you how disappointed they are in this government.”
