No Bars At Stations

The Ghana Private Road transport Union (GPRTU) has asked owners of drinking bars at lorry stations to stop operations.

A statement by the National Secretariat of the union said the move is part of attempts to curtail the spate of road accidents.

The statement signed by Mr. Peter Agya Ansah, Deputy General Secretary, asked local executives of the union to sanction drivers found to be smelling of alcohol whiles on duty.

It advised all GPRTU regional secretariats to ensure strict compliance with the directive and appealed to passengers and the public to co-operate by reporting any drunken driver to its nearest offices or the police.
