Alan John Kyerematen, Minister of Trade and Industry
The Ministry of Trade and Industry has dismissed media reports that there are currently tensions at the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Secretariat in Accra.
The ministry said in a statement that the reports are not only false but also spurious and aim to disaffect Ghanaian workers from the Secretariat and their foreign counterparts.
“The attention of the Ministry of Trade and Industry was drawn to a SOCIAL media report titled ‘AfCFTA General Secretary Threatens to Sack All Ghanaian Employees.’
“The report alleges a rift between Ghanaian officials and foreign nationals working at the AFCFTA Secretariat in Accra.
“The Ministry of Trade and Industry wishes on behalf of the Government of Ghana to state categorically and unequivocally that there is no rift or tension between Ghanaian nationals and their foreign counterparts in the Secretariat.
“The report is not only false and misleading, but also misleading and aims to disaffect the two groups of officials working at the Secretariat and it also aims to jeopardize the cordial relationship between the Government of Ghana and the leadership of the Secretariat,” said Wednesday March 16, the communiqué signed by Patrick Yaw Nimo, the chief director of the ministry.
