GPRTU Chairman fights Police MTTD for creating traffic to extort money from drivers

The Kumasi Sofoline Chairman of Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU) Mr. Albert Boamah has accused the Motor Transport and Traffic Directorate (MTTD) and Police officers who have been deployed to Sofoline to control traffic of extorting money from the drivers.

Drivers on several occasions have been punished by military personnel for operating in unauthorized places at Sofoline despite the Sofoline transport terminal.

Sofoline GPRTU branch in collaboration with Kwadaso Municipal Assembly Transport Committee embarked on a traffic situation check at Sofoline to control traffic situation.

Speaking in an interview with Pure Fm’s Osei Kwadwo during the operation, the GPRTU Sofoline Chairman Mr. Albert Boamah emphasized that Sofoline traffic is caused by the police officers and MTTD officers who have been deployed to control the traffic situation.

According to Mr. Albert Boamah, recalcitrant commercial drivers are allowed to operate in unauthorized places because the police and MTTD officers who are supposed to enforce the law are extorting money from the drivers.

“The Police and MTTD officers are the cause of Sofoline traffic because without the traffic they won’t get the opportunity to take Ghc10 from each and every driver. They are not here to control traffic and enforce the law but they are here to fill their pockets” Mr Albert Boamah said.

He added that “I have reported their actions to the MTTD commander with video evidence extorting money from their drivers”.

“I always have to come here with my taskforce to control the driver meanwhile those officers have been paid by the state to do the work” he said.

Most Ghanaians have been initiated into occultism by their Pastors – Papa Shee

Evangelist Papa Shee says most Ghanaians have been initiated into occultism by Pastors. According to him, most Pastors in Ghana currently are occults and with the way they are been celebrated by their followers, they initiate them into occult groups without their knowledge. He mentioned that Ghanaians lack knowledge and that has always been the reason why Pastors take advantage of them.

Residents of Samreboi cry on gov’t to fix their roads

Residents of Samreboi are up in arms with the Government of Ghana over neglect of their roads. According to residents, It has become very worrying as their bad road network is affecting not only economic activities but also their social activities. Residents of the timber and Cocoa producing town in the Western Region of Ghana say they have been unfairly treated by several governments; the neglect they say they do not know what to attribute it to.
