However, CAC commended operators who have taken steps to formalize their businesses, praising their “positive attitudes” towards compliance.
The commission noted with concern the significant number of operators who have not adhered to the directive.
According to the statement, “Recalcitrant operators have refused to adhere to the advice for formalisation due possibly to engagements in unwholesome activities or for some reasons best known to them.”
The CAC emphasised that it was working in collaboration with law enforcement agencies and other relevant stakeholders to implement a comprehensive enforcement and sanction framework.
The measures may include the shutdown of non-compliant businesses and other severe legal consequences.
