The Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU) and the Ministry of Transport are set to resume negotiations today regarding the GPRTU's proposed 30% hike in transport fares. The matter arose due to escalating fuel prices, taxes, and other factors. The previous meeting between the two parties ended without a resolution. The GPRTU has refuted allegations that the proposed fare increase has been halted.
Deputy Public Relations Officer of GPRTU, Samuel Amoah, stated that no agreement has been reached with the government, and a final decision will be made after today's meeting. The last interaction between the GPRTU and the sector Minister was last Friday, and no conclusions were drawn. The Union has directed its members not to participate in a sit-down strike organized by the Progressive Transport Owners Association (PROTOA) due to vehicle maintenance costs.
The GPRTU introduced the 30% increase in transport fares earlier this month, citing the need for commercial transport operators to manage rising operational expenses.
