A council member of GIFF, John Kwame Adu on Adom FM’s anti-corruption programme Fabewoso Monday said the system was being forced down the throat of shippers.
He said the business community is already overburdened and as such, the re-introduction of the CTN will obviously affect the cost of running their businesses.
