Taskforce insists foreign nationals must stay off retail business

The head of the taskforce setup to ensure foreign nationals stay off the local retail business, Kofi Larbie, is asking foreign businesses violating the law to comply with a directive to relocate or risk being forced out.

A good number of foreigners have been doing petty trading and setting up kiosks in various markets in blatant violation of the law which reserves such businesses exclusively for locals.

Such businesses have until the 20th of next month to relocate.

Mr. Larbie tells Joy News guilty traders will be sensitized to move voluntarily before the deadline.
