Do not be surprised President John Mahama will put it into our laws that Okada & Pragia shd operate on the new Accra -Kumasi Express Road he dreams of constructing. The Man is a SANKWAS

The worse president in Ghana is Nana Addo. The president who allowed his party members to mined in our virgin forests. He remains the most corrupt and useless president in the history of Ghana.

When a person decides to travel from Accra to Kumasi or Tamale by bus I don't think it's unreasonable for them to expect some peace and quiet during the long and often uncomfortable journey. Some people use part of the journey to catch up on sleep. After all passengers didn't buy a bus ticket in order to listen to an unsolicited sermon from some random preacher. In the same way it is also extremely rude and very inconsiderate to force people to listen to loud music ( chosen by the driver) or have to endure listening to people seated nearby talking loudly for hours about matters that are of no interest to others. Supposing a , Hindu, Moslem or even traditional medicine/ JuJu man or woman got up from their seat and started preaching their religion to us would we take kindly to them?
An even worse thing to do is to disturb people at 4am or 5am with unsolicited and disruptive "dawn broadcast" that wakes up everybody including little children and infants. Why do we behave in such unwise ways? There is a place and time for public speaking and preaching. I have nothing against roadside or public park preachers because at the very least people have the option to stop and listen or continue on their way. In contrast people travelling in a bus are held captive by a preacher hollering into their ear .It is very inconsiderate to force people to listen to something they didn't ask for and don't want. IT IS AGAINST THE VERY SPIRIT OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITH TO DISPLAY SUCH DISRESPECT AND LACK OF CONSIDERATION FOR OTHERS. To behave in this manner towards the very people we claim to be trying to witness to is to display a profound lack of spiritual wisdom, knowledge and humility and willing ultimately repel those we are trying to reach.
May the God of Heaven grant as the spiritual discernment, wisdom and courage to always do what is right and pleasing in his sight. God is not the author of confusion or disorderly behaviour.
How about offering leaflets to passengers just before theyboard the bus ( after you've sought and gained permission from the driver/ conductor etc)?

Why are Christians desperately forcing Christianity down people's throat? The passengers are not all Christians. Have you ever seen M. U. $.L. I. M. $ preaching in public transport? NO, yet that religion is the fastest growing religion in the world. Yet, we accuse M. U. $.L.I.M.$ of forcing people to join them.

Commercial transport operators have been misinformed. The source of the disinformation must be dragged to court. Security agencies, get into action.

Why shd President Mahama contemplate the continuous enforcement of this law? When a leader morally is weak he struggles to do the right thing. Corruption & Stealing psychologically has affected JDM

These transport operators should get it right right one- this regulation is sitting in our not today and two-the regulation is not stopping preachers/pastors not to preach in public transports but rather moving vehicles. The regulation says don't preache in moving vehicles and not stationary vehicles. They should read and if they don't understand they should let someone who's abrase with the law to interpret it to them, so that they will stop misleading and misinforming people . This simple thing you people want to make it a national debate, WHY???

The Drivers are not Fools they've studied the behaviour of Visionless & Incompetent President Mahama over the yrs. Motorcycle & Tricycles in our books were banned to be used for commercial purposes till Mahama lifted that ban. Unintelligent & so Corrupt as he is he couldn't even tell them to operate in rural areas and within our Communities. Now they are competing with vehicles on Highways.

The drivers have the right to stop any preacher from preaching in their buses period. This should not be government issue, if I’m a driver and u come into my bus to preach I will stop u.

Our politicians only think about votes. If not how can you suspend this law? We can not develop as a country if we allow religious bodies to dictate the laws of the country. People are praising Rwanda because the leader did not allow this nonsense. I believe dictatorship will be good for Ghana if we want to see change. Enough of these Charlatans called Christians who want to retire the growth of the country. They can die and go and meet Jesus if they believe heaven is better than earth. We should also either stop or reduce the noise made by the Muslims. Even Dubai and other Arab countries, they do not make such loud noises.

The best people to stop preaching and hawking in public transport are transport operators. There's no law in the constitution that stops transport operators preventing this nuisance. If I'm a driver and I don't allow preachers and hawkers in my vehicle, what crime have I committed? There's no difference between hawkers and the preachers as the hawkers want passengers to patronise whatever they are selling, the preachers on the other hand, primary objective is to sell the word of God. Selling the word of God? Hmmm
