The Cement Manufacturers Association of Ghana (CMAG) has expressed dismay at Ekow Spio-Garbrah, Minister of Trade & Industry, for offering a permit to a Chinese to import 500,000 metric tons of cement into Ghana without the approval of the Cement Monitoring Committee established by government.<\/p>\n
According to the association, which currently comprises GHACEM Limited, Tema; GHACEM Limited, Takoradi; Diamond Cement Ghana Limited, Aflao; Savanna Diamond Company Limited, Buipe and Western Diamond Cement Limited, Takoradi, such behaviour by the Minister foment unfair trade practices in the country.<\/p>\n
