Public
warned about sale of fake motor insurance stickers
Takoradi, Oct. 25, Ghanadot/GNA - Mrs Emma Ocran, Legal
Director of the National Insurance Commission (NIC), on
Thursday expressed concern about the sale of fake motor
insurance stickers by some individuals to motorists.
She was speaking at a one-day workshop on Insurance and the
Compensation Fund organised by the NIC for vehicle owners
and drivers in Takoradi.
Mrs Ocran cautioned the public against purchasing motor
insurance stickers from people by the roadside.
She said only recognised insurance companies were to sell
the stickers and urged the public to patronise stickers from
such companies.
Mrs Ocran said persons who bought fake stickers were harming
themselves and stood to lose when they applied for insurance
claims.
Mrs Rose Akuffo-Anoff, an officer at the Legal Department of
the NIC, said the compensation fund was used to pay
insurance claims when insurance companies refused to do so
in instances such as breach of contract.
She said the fund did not pay for property damage but only
for injury and death.
Mrs Akuffo-Anoff said the NIC and insurance companies
contributed to the compensation fund.
