Materials sold at 480 cedis at the beginning of year are currently sold at 1000 cedis; affecting business growth.

Clad in red, the aluminium glaziers chanted in displeasure to the stifling production environment.

They can no longer work with estimates for clients.

Chairman of the association, says they are no longer buying raw materials for production until the situation improves.
