Commercial Drivers Threaten  Naked, Roads  Blocked Demo  Against Akufo-Addo,  And NPP Government

Aggrieved commercial drivers and commuters have threatened to embark on what they describe as a "naked and roads blocked demonstration" against President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo's led New Patriotic Party (NPP) government to register their displeasure about the high cost of living of the people in the country.

Addressing a press conference, the National Chairman of the National Concerned Drivers Association of Ghana, Mr. Paa Willie stated that the cost of living within the country is gradually becoming unbearable as prices of goods and services keep on increasing. 

"As an association, we have been observing and we have noticed that the government always posed as a confidence trickster," he noted

According to him, not long ago driver unions agreed on an increment in lorry fares which was due to the increment in fuel prices at the time. 

He pointed out that after a week of fare increment, prices of fuel have shot up again which directly affects the increment of fares and brings us back to zero profit. 

"We asking the government and the economic management team to deal with the rampant increment of fuel prices immediately or we will advise ourselves. 

"The 20 %increment of fares at week was not even enough to compliment our sales and maintenance of our vehicles, but we managed considering our customers and knowing we'll that salaries have not been increased," he stressed.

He noted that "We believe the ordinary Ghanaian must suffer for the mismanagement and incompetence of the current government.
