The brouhaha over foreign traders engaged in retailing has been a bone of contention in some parts of the country for some weeks now; this triggered a press release by the Tamale branch of GUTA, giving authorities a two week ultimatum to take action on foreign retail traders or they will hit the street in demonstration.
To prevent attacks on foreign traders as witness in other parts of the country, Diamond City Jam (Drive Time Show) of Diamond 93.7 Fm Hosted by Samed Gaida Original Soundboy engaged the two parties in a dialogue live on air to help resolve the issue and prevent any form of lawlessness.
Both parties where able to agree on issues and promised the public a peaceful resolution of the issue.
Once you have dialogue starting, you know you can break down prejudice.. (Harvey Milk).
