A 13-member Inter-Agency Review Committee has been established by the Ministry of Transportation to examine the Road Traffic Regulations 2012, L.I. 2180, which forbids the use of tricycles and motorbikes for commercial reasons, or “Okada.”
The committee will concentrate on how such vehicles may be permitted to be utilized for passenger services that require payment of fares.
At the moment, using tricycles and motorbikes for business reasons is against the law, which makes it difficult to police and promote road safety.
The government is working to resolve these problems and guarantee a more secure and controlled transportation system, and this evaluation is a part of that effort.
Members of the committee
The group, which consists of officials from law enforcement and important organizations, has three weeks to revise the Road Traffic Regulation, confer with stakeholders, and submit its findings.
Mabel Sagoe and Daniel Essel, who both represent the Ministry of Transport (MOT), Iddisah Yeboah Seidu, Edmund Cheyuo, and Bona Otuo Serebuor from the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA), as well as Chief Superintendent Alexander K. Obeng and Commissioner of Police (COP) Peter Baba Atiniak, are among the members.
