Ghana Police Service MTTD shd extend this exercise to our various Lorry Stations particularly Madina Main Station. Some drivers are still using Toyota Voxy vehicles as commercial buses to Koforidua & Ho
Did you read the whole thing?
@ Muntari I suspect you're part of those Toyota Voxy drivers disrespecting govt regulations
Can those seized vehicles and their illegally acquired lights and Sirens be legally auctioned to the Ghana Police Service? What about making those arrested for such offenses spend about three months in Prison under very stric ...

Deal with private security vans. The drive so carelessly as if they are the law.
Total waste of time and resources. The laws are clear, why are they police afraid to apply the laws. We have as many as 276 MPs making laws, if we can't apply the laws, then what is the point making them? If you warn or give ...

I very much appreciate your suggestion. People on this forum know that I am not a very good friend of Rawlings and don’t like him because of the atrocities of his regimes. Such stupidness could not have been done under his ...

There is a law against this, which everybody knows. You have been conducting this exercise over and over. The Police Service also needs money to function well. Why are you still giving warnings instead of imposing heavy fines ...

Well done Ghana Police!!! We support you for carrying out this exercise. Those arrested should be prosecuted and fined or even jailed for violating the law.
What is 300-600 Cedis fine for someone driving V8 car? They should pay thousands of Cedis or face a jail sentence.
What about the improvise money carrying vans? They behave as if the road is made for them.
Many Thanks to the Ghana Police Service for the enforcement of the law. Though we heard of the passing of this law some years back, however better late than never.
Please now turn to the disturbing Horning of public transpo ...

Two-thirds of those vehicles will go scot-free after their owners have settled the Police. In case you doubt what I said, check from the owners and at the MTTDs
The laws are clear on who can use sirens. Seizure is NOT the answer, SEIZURE AND HEAVY FINES INCLUDING IMPRISONMENT will curb this abuse.
Good job Ghana Police.
The fines should act as a deterrent. 2000 to 4000 is appropriate. Same as other places in the world
Have all the owners of the seized cars arrested and charged accordingly. Heavy penalties of fines and possibly custodial sentences to be slapped on the persistent offenders. Ghana is gradually degenerating into a country of L ...

We must blame the police for failing to enforce the law. They have known about this problem for years and I wonder why they would not enforce the law.
Good job! Please add motorbike checks. Some have "blinding flashing" lights that put other road users, both pedestrians and motorists at risk.
Talking about noise pollution. I think religious groups are most offensive. They mount loud speakers in close residential areas making it hard for residents to even take a nap in the afternoon.. The moslems starts from 4am an ...

The police are to be blamed for this. For years they have looked on unconcerned so why now? Should it be the politician who should enforce this? Shame on you, Ghana Police.

One day nationwide operation is a mere settings...
....the organized criminals could've got the tip off
Ghana is a lawless nation. You have all the laws on the books but not even one of them is enforced. That is why your country is poor, dirty, backward and so corrupt. What a fu cking country.

The focus should also be on the sales points. Sellers should be asked to demand special permits from the MTTU/Road Safety Commission
Meanwhile okada and tricycles are free to flout traffic rules with impunity
Why this operation took a long time ?
Bro. you said it all .If it is not allowed, who is given these guys the permit to import these things.
We really have a Problem in Ghana paaa.
Please check the motorbikes that fix flicker lights and something like fluorescent lights
Sirens are made for emergency vehicles how come individuals are allowed to use them I don’t understand. The lawlessness in the country is too much even some pastors use a sirens including some politicians can you imagine t ...

Can the police also direct their attention to the most "tro-tro vehicles without tail lights and smoking engine vehicles on the roads and streets of the country especially tro-tro vehicles in Accra?
