The Western Region branch of the Ghana National Association of Garages (GNAG) has appealed to the government to expedite action on the review of the ban on the importation of salvage vehicles.
Salvage cars include a vehicle that has been critically damaged to the extent that any part of the safety cage and/or chassis is broken, cracked, bent or twisted or a vehicle abandoned and has a value only as a source of parts and scrap metal.
They stressed that the issue was critical to the growth and stability of the auto mechanic industry in Ghana.
The Western Regional Chairman of the association, Mr Justice Jeo Aryitey, made the appeal at a stakeholders' meeting with the Minister of Trade, Agribusiness and Industry, Mrs Elizabeth Ofosu- Agyare, in Takoradi on yesterday to discuss the matter as enshrined in the Customs Amendment Act, 2020 (Act 1014), but yet to be implemented.
