Mr Kwame Kumah, Central Regional Chairman of the Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU), has urged members of the union not to allow the union to be dragged into politics.
He said any attempt to make the biggest transport organization in
the country a political entity would make it lose its long achieved
values and glory.
Mr Kumah said this when he addressed members of the union at
Agona Swedru where executives of four branches - Texaco numbers 1, 2,
and 3, and Swedru/Accra - were elected into office for four years.
Mr Kumah said the union had played a vital role in the
transformation and growth of the transport sector which had helped the
development of the national economy.
He noted that the union had created an enabling environment for
smooth operations and credible relations with Metropolitan, Municipal
and District Assemblies, and urged members to maintain the cordial
relationship existing between the union and the assemblies.
Mr Kumah said that the union offered services to all including
the government of the day and should not align itself with one a
particular political party.
He bemoaned the increasing rate of accidents on the roads that
had resulted in deaths and urged the new executives to ensure that
sanity prevailed on the road.
Mr Mosie Otabil, Texaco Branch Chairman of the Union, who was
elected unopposed, on behalf of his colleagues, assured the Regional
Chairman and the executive members that they would work hard to
improve the image of the union.
