Ebenezer Kwaku Addo, the Member of Parliament for Asutifi North in Ghana's Ahafo Region, has stepped in to support 150 commercial drivers and riders by helping them complete their registration with the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA). These beneficiaries include commercial vehicle drivers, motorcycle riders known as okada operators, and tricycle riders, referred to as aboboyaa operators, hailing from the communities of Kenyasi and Ntotroso.
The MP provided financial assistance to help the beneficiaries regularize their documentation and comply with road traffic regulations. During an interview with Adom News, Mr Addo highlighted that several commercial drivers and riders in these areas frequently encountered arrest due to expired or non-existent driving licenses. He stated that whenever such operators were apprehended by the police, he was often approached for assistance.
Realizing the recurring issue, Mr Addo engaged the DVLA office in Sunyani to facilitate the registration process for the affected drivers and riders. He aimed to reduce avoidable arrests and promote adherence to the law among commercial transport operators. The beneficiaries expressed their gratitude to the MP, noting that his contribution of one-third of the registration expenses significantly alleviated their financial burden. They have appealed for sustained support in similar initiatives.
