Asanteman Zongo Nkosuohene, Asokore-Mampong Security Council organise workshop for tricycle operators
Asanteman Zongo Nkosuohene, Sarki Alhaji Abdulai Ali, in collaboration with the Asokore-Mampong Municipal Security Council (MUSEC), initiated engagement with hundreds of tricycle operators in a capacity-building workshop. The workshop, held at the Prempeh Assembly Hall in Kumasi, addressed traffic concerns and focused on the formal regulation of tricycles.
Sarki Abdulai Ali implored operators to "prioritise human life over speed, avoid unnecessary overtaking, overloading, unsafe and reckless U-turns right in the middle of the road which usually result in fatalities." He also tasked the Tricycle Operators Association to "flush out the bad nuts to install sanity and discipline." The Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for Asokore Mampong, Ben Abdallah Alhassan, described the municipality as the hub of 'Pragya' operators in the Greater Kumasi region. The Manhyia Divisional Police Commander, Chief Superintendent Frederick Hammond, pointed out that some accidents result from operator negligence and invalid documentation. He announced that measures have been put in place to crack down on operators who flout road traffic regulations.
The Ashanti Regional Chairman of the National Union of Tricycle Operators of Ghana (UNTOG), Seidu Mubarak, accused the Police of harassment and intimidation and called for a halt to it. He entreated the operators in the region to avoid actions that could lead to fatalities and should abide by all regulations governing their operations.
