The Legislative Instrument (L.I.) trying to direct the costs of cement has been passed into law, regardless of resistance from cement producers and sections of general public.
The underlying draft of the L.I. incorporated an arrangement expecting producers to get government endorsement prior to setting costs, yet this arrangement has been eliminated.
The Minority in Parliament voiced solid resistance to the proposed Legislative Instrument (LI) pointed toward directing cement evaluating in Ghana.
This L.I., supported In terms of professional career and Industry Priest, K.T. Hammond, has faced opposition from cement makers who asked Parliament not to endorse it.
Minority representative on Lawful and Sacred Undertakings, Bernard Ahiafor, expressed that the guideline goes against the parent act, which covers norms for all labor and products.
“The parent act by its articles manages all labor and products, that is setting the norm for all labor and products including the concrete, and the comprehension of the standard is controlling the nature of all labor and products created and imported in the country.”
In spite of these complaints, the LI has been established after 21 parliamentary sittings.
K.T Hammond says the LI will prompt a decrease in concrete costs across Ghana.
“I have reliably been contending that we are not being dealt with decently by the concrete creating organizations. I have gone through a great deal of writing, I’m past contention. There is a sure measure of shamefulness in the evaluating of concrete the nation over and I’m ready to ensure that there is some mental soundness,” he said.
