Agye ta, how many can pass this test, time will tell, the Police and MTTD will get a lot of arrest. The government should establish a special Okada/Pragia Court.

Ghana police and mttd officers will just make more money from extortions because only a very few people will meet those requirements.

The NDC has been so meek and timid that even the infinitesimal and microscopic minority is intimidating them; it's so sad! If the NPP ever gets the opportunity like the NDC has been given, with such overwhelming and unprecedented support from Ghanaians, I swear they will try to remove all NDC members from the country. In fact, people people will be ashamed to publicly identify with the NDC. Therefore, the NDC should epitomise the spirit of Ghanaians' massive support and trust; otherwise, it will undermine the trust of the Ghanaians and create huge disappointment, consuming their spirit of trust.

THE LAWS SHOULD MAKE IT CLEAR THAT MOTOR CYCKES RIDING IN THE MIDDLE LANES IS ILLEGAL. THIS IS WHAT IS CAUSING OVER 90% OF THE ACCIDENTS.

Why should Mahama appoint a criminal to head the security services. He is now roaming around robbing innocent people.

Okada riders and pragyia riders/drivers must also have insurance policy coverage to benefit both the rider or driver and the traveler or passenger.
The insurance must be renewed annually just like their licenses for public safety purposes.

INVOLVE THE GRASSROOTS
Take their concern before implementing those regulations:
1. Minimum age should consider 18
2. No need of proficiency test of theory
3. Be practical and relevant not like the Ghana we knew.

So none of you are worried or concerned about the revenue loss to the country as these Okada delays traffic which transfer to the economy??? We go to school for nothing as Ghanaians ...... Accra is loosing so much money due slow movement of goods... how helpful can Okada be to the country that the president has be the one to deal with?.... you always cry about your cedi depreciation but you are also hindering the speed of the cedi...you are the same people throwing obstacles in the path of your economy.....why doesn't UK.or America allow Okada if it brings billions of dollars to the economy annually????

One country in North America tried a bike lane as pilot project....thinking to encourage biking to and from work, and around the city to curb emission...but after a research, they saw the city was getting heavy traffic....slow driving and delayed in the supply chain...causing the city amount of about $100,000 a day...they amended the law to remove all bike lanes to allow traffic flow..... study traffic in Accra...how much goods can Okada move???

Ghana paaaa, why do we always do the worst?? You want your cedi to compete with the dollar...then review your thinking.....we should complain about poor roads....get Okada off the road especially on highway and major roads..... these stupid tricycles on the roads can't move any faster......they get infront of cars and okay goods each hour.....America will never be that stupid to do what will cause an economic failure..... IMF knows your weaknesses....the Chinese knows your weaknesses as a country....in America, if you drive too slow in a lane dedicated for speed, you get pulled over by police and ticketed unless you are not caught....you can't delay the economy for everyone else.... also road accident is 90% possible so a Whiteman will ban Okada without needing or seeking for votes when fatality statistics are clear!!

Ask for better roads than to ask for stupidity....let your politicians actually know and be self-aware that you have common sense!!!

Aaah Okada paaa commercialisation. If is only ndc who will do this. Nomdeep thinking person will allow this. I was in Yaounde, Cameroon and I could describe the streets as shit. It will be an eye saw to legalise this bad business in Ghana. Politicians de3 they don’t think oo. U have Amaliba at road safety and we expect him to think well. The law practice self he dey mess up, how much more an area beyond his scope. Lagos city has banned Okada in the central business district. Even Nigeria who invented this term “Okada” is struggling with the bad menace, how much more Ghana. I bore self

That is good for us. As for Nana Akufo-Addo's law on okada and pragia its like the British passing law that no one must drink akpeteshi, but can drink gin.
