GUTA accepts CTN Policy<br />
• After rejecting it over poor communication<br />
GHANA UNION of Traders<br />
Association (GUTA), Greater<br />
Accra Region has stated that<br />
some traders have accepted the<br />
Cargo Tracking Note (CTN),<br />
which was introduced by the<br />
government and Customs Division<br />
(GRA) after traders rejected<br />
it due to lack of communication<br />
from the government.<br />
According to Mr Emmanuel<br />
Nana Opoku Acheampong,<br />
Deputy General Secretary,<br />
GUTA, Greater Accra Region, in<br />
a press release, the government<br />
and Customs Division (GRA)<br />
had reviewed the CTN policy for<br />
the betterment of importers and<br />
traders.<br />
“The new-reviewed CTN is<br />
not applicable to importers and<br />
traders whose capacity is between<br />
one to three Teus per month,<br />
which is equivalent to 18 to 40<br />
feet high queue containers within<br />
a year and also 36- and 20-feet<br />
containers within a year for each<br />
trader or importers,” he said.<br />
“Due to this great change and<br />
concessions by President Nana<br />
Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo’s<br />
government, traders and importers<br />
within Greater Accra Region<br />
and Ghanaians should<br />
support the CTN policy.”<br />
Mr Acheampong urged<br />
GUTA Greater Accra Region to<br />
put all differences aside and welcome<br />
the policy in good faith<br />
since the government is ready to<br />
listen to them.<br />
He said, “I wish to throw a<br />
sign of caution to the Ghana Institute<br />
of Fright- Forwarders<br />
(GIFF) to desist from sabotaging<br />
the CTN policy by introducing<br />
politics and reading different<br />
meanings into its implementation,<br />
because CTN dealt directly<br />
with importers and traders, not<br />
intermediaries.”<br />

all motorists to take advantage of<br />
the promotion to own a taxi, motorcycle<br />
or win any of the amazing<br />
prizes at stake.<br />

somebody’s taxi all these years and<br />
you want to own a taxi. This promotion<br />
is your opportunity to own<br />
a taxi and do the sales for yourself.<br />

who pays a taxi driver to pick up<br />
your children from school every<br />
day at a fee. Shell is giving you an<br />
opportunity to own a taxi and save<br />
the monthly fee,” he said.<br />
Mr Faulkner also reminded<br />
commercial drivers and private<br />
motorists to continue to opt for<br />
Shell Fuel Save Super and Diesel,<br />
which are designed to last longer<br />
at no extra cost, rather than regular<br />
super and diesel on the market.<br />
Last year, Vivo Energy Ghana<br />
gave six brand new Hyundai<br />
Grand i10 taxis and other prizes in<br />
a similar promo ‘Shell Filling No<br />
Y3 Deep Taxi Bonanza’ to motorists.<br />
