Commercial
drivers given 6 weeks ultimatum to register vehicles
Audrey Micah, Ghanadot
Accra, March 25, Ghanadot - The Ministry of Transport in its
attempt to curb the increasing spate of road accidents and
consequent loss of lives have issued a 6 week ultimatum to all
commercial drivers in the country within which to register their
vehicles with a union.
According to the Ministry, failure to adhere with this directive
will be punished with sanctions of inability to ‘load’ at the
various transport stations in the country.
The meeting comes days after President John Mills directed Roads
and Highways Minister, Joe Gidisu, to meet with stakeholders of
the transport sector in Ghana to put together strategies to curb
the rate of deadly road accidents.
Some 100 people have died in the past one month alone. The
accidents occurred mainly on the Accra - Kumasi Highway and the
Accra-Cape Coast Highway.
Roads and Highways Minister, Hon Joe Gidisu noted that in order
for the proposed scheme to work, the heads of the various
transport unions will be tasked to ensure that unsubscribed
drivers will be prevented from “loading” passengers at their
stations.
He added that the directive was also aimed at ensuring that a
database of all commercial drivers in the country was acquired
with the long term aim of reducing the spate of road accidents
in the country.
The Minister stated that new models of street lights were to be
introduced in the Accra metropolis by next week on pilot basis.
He noted however due to the capital intensive nature of the
initiative, it will take some time for it to be replicated
across the country.
Mr. Gidisu also made mention of the new calming measures to
control traffic on the nation’s roads in the short term, such as
the introduction of log books for commercial drivers.
