Erick Kweku Boateng, the head of the Authorized Automobile Dealers Association, has called on Ghana's government to limit vehicle imports to only authorized dealerships and agencies. This move aims to enforce new rules on used car imports and prevent the entry of stolen or poorly maintained vehicles, according to Boateng. He suggested that a system similar to those in the United States and Canada, where dealers play a key role in imports, would improve safety and quality standards for imported vehicles.
Boateng argued that this approach would enhance accountability and protect consumers from buying unsafe or stolen cars. He urged the government to consider this proposal as part of efforts to streamline vehicle imports and bolster Ghana's automotive industry.
