Transport services are likely to be disrupted today as the Ghana
Committed Taxi Drivers Association is embarking on a sit down strike.
They are protesting what they describe as high insurance premiums
and the decision by the DVLA not to issue driving license to
illiterates.
According to the group, the 400% increment in insurance premium is exorbitant and will throw drivers out of business.
Prince Amankwa, Vice President for the Ghana Committed Taxi Drivers
Association, said the transport minister attempted to intervene but
there was no conclusion after the late meeting.
“We were called by the transport minister but she called us late so
we couldn’t sit down to negotiate any tangible settlement, so for that
matter we decided to go ahead,” Amankwa told Starr News.
