Let us remain decorous in all our activities as we vote tomorrow 7 December 2016\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n The National General Secretary of the Association, Charles Othniel Abbey , who spoke to\u00a0 Citi Business News<\/strong> to express the Association\u2019s commitment to the delivery of goods and services tomorrow<\/p>\n \u201cWe have advised them that to alternate between available staff. So for instance the madam of a salon can go and cast her ballot in the morning and when she returns, the rest of the staff can take turns and do same. We think that we don\u2019t have to unduly disrupt our businesses,\u201d Mr. Abbey added.<\/p>\n Mr Abbey also appealed to the members of the association to vote for a leader they believe would seek the best interest of the association and the business community at large.<\/p>\n –<\/p>\n By: Anita Arthur\/citibusinessnews.com\/Ghana<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Association of Small Scale Industries (ASSI) has assured its members will offer full services today, December 7, 2016.
