Traders in Kumasi in the Ashanti region have defied the announcement of the Ghana Union of Traders Association (GUTA) by opening their shops for business.
The leadership of the Association declared a nationwide strike following a successful three-day strike in Accra which began on March 1 . However, Joy News' checks in Kumasi revealed that shops have been opened and engaged in brisk business.
Some of the shop owners Joy News spoke to said, they opened their shops because they were not duly informed by the leadership of the Association.
They blamed the lack of unified front for the nationwide strike on "poor communication."
