The People’s National Party (PNP) has praised the Minister for Trade and Industry for introducing a bill in Parliament that aims to regulate cement prices and make cement more affordable for Ghanaians.
The minister, KT Hammond, has laid before parliament a bill that seeks to regulate cement prices in the country.
KT Hammond insists that the law is essential to prevent a cartel of manufacturers from exploiting the public. A press statement by the Leader of the PNP, Madam Janet Asana Nabla, says the legislation is intended to benefit the Ghanaian people, especially Ghanaian families.
“The People’s National Party (PNP) commends the Minister for Trade and Industry for introducing a bill in Parliament that aims to regulate cement prices and make cement more affordable for ordinary Ghanaians. This legislation is intended to benefit the Ghanaian people, especially Ghanaian families. Only those seeking to undermine this positive effort would oppose this commendable piece of legislation.”
The PNP also urges the Ministry of Trade, Ministry of Works and Housing, and the Ministry of Agriculture to extend this initiative by introducing additional legislative instruments to regulate food and rent prices, addressing the escalating costs affecting many Ghanaian families.
The PNP leader further calls on Ghanaians to vote against any political party whose Members of Parliament are opposed to the bill.
“We call on all Ghanaian families to vote against any political party in the 2024 elections that puts the interests of businesses ahead of the wellbeing of ordinary citizens like yourselves. Be vigilant and oppose any parties that support business practices that are detrimental to the everyday Ghanaian household. Your families deserve leaders who will prioritize your welfare over corporate profits.”
