The Kumasi GHACEM Distributors Association says they have stopped the free delivery of cement.
Tge association in a memo dated March 8, 2022 to all distributors and retailers sighted by DGN Online listed a number of reasons which triggered such a decision to begin to charge fee for delivering cement and other building materials.
“At a meeting held on 1st March, 2022 of all GHACEM Distributors in Ashanti Region at the Kumasi Depot, we have come to a consensus that henceforth, delivery of cement and other building materials at all retail outlets to customers’ destination should be done at a fee.
“This has become necessary because of the following reasons:
> recent price hikes in fuel
> increasing cost of repairs and maintenance
> reducing profit margin on the cement
> increasing cost of doing business
They have therefore asked their stakeholders to abide by the decision to sustain their business.
Below is a copy of the memo:
