The meeting afforded members of the Tema regional branch of the Ghana Chamber of Commerce to understand the method involved in the accumulation of bills brought to them.

The Chairman of the Tema regional branch of the Ghana Chamber of Commerce, Isaac Barry bemoaned the fact that industries in the country are reeling under the high utility tariff, hence, making Ghana uncompetitive in the West African sub-region.
