  "summary": "The National Road Safety Authority (NRSA) in Ghana has announced a new policy requiring all commercial motorcycle riders, commonly known as Okada riders, to register with a recognised union or corporate entity. Director-General Abraham Amaliba declared that there will be a \"No Union, No Okada\" policy, effective from November. This directive stems from the passage of the Road Safety (Amendment) Act, 2025, and the accompanying Road Traffic Regulations, 2026, which were part of President John Dramani Mahama's political promises during the 2024 general election. The policy aims to create a comprehensive database of operators, enhance traceability, accountability, safety training, and regulatory oversight. Amaliba urged existing unions and transport companies to prepare their organisational documents for submission to the Authority for registration.",
