Michael Okyere Baafi, a Deputy Minister for Trade and Industry, has revealed that the government will soon ban the purchase of vehicles from abroad to boost Ghana’s automobile industry business.
“Going forward no public sector establishment will be allowed to buy cars from outside the country,” he said. “This is a decision to support Ghana’s growing automobile industry,” he said.
He said, Ghana spends over one million dollars annually on the importation of cars into the country.
He said the country’s automobile hub if fully operational will lead to the ban on the purchase of cars from abroad to support Ghana’s automobile sector.
Mr. Baafi added “We want to move from an economy of buying cars from outside to an economy of assembling its own cars,” he stated.
