Mr Ebenezer Sackey, the Secretary of the Nsawam/Adeiso Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU) has commended the Government for the reduction of fuel prices.
He said the price reduction from Gh¢22.00 to Gh¢18.00 would enable the drivers to meet the shortfall in their transport fares as they complied with the social distancing directives by reducing the number of passengers on board their cars.
Mr Sackey made the commendation in an interview with the Ghana News Agency and said:
“We have provided veronica bucket, hand sanitizer, and tissue and we ensure that passengers wash their hands, wear the nose and mouth mask, including the driver to protect themselves from the COVID-19.”.
He appealed to the Nsawam Police to assist the GPRTU to drive away taxi drivers who have turned the Nsawam Goil Filling Station as their loading point and prevent the passengers from entering the main Adieso Taxi Station.
Mr Sackey said those drivers have not registered with the Union and their operations put the lives of the passengers in danger while most of them lose their properties since the unscrupulous drivers could not be identified.
