Brother, okada riders mostly don’t follow traffic rules..They will not, they are too uncivilized to obey traffic rules and regulations..Govt should not encourage okada in 2025 as it’s not safe means of transportation..lazy govt wants to score cheap political point..Invest in trains from one Accra to tamale, Accra to Takoradi etc..invest in proper and modernized buses, it will curb all these congestion in cities..aww Africans don’t know how to govern a country and it’s sad..

Lazy leadership. No insurance. No speed limit signs. The same street widths since 1957. If you are not investing to develop n beautify the cities, country. How do you expect to reap more revenue?

Because when u vote pepeni to be a president, that’s what u get..pepefuo only can afford okada so they think it should be legalize..remember every decision has consequences and that’s what we are witnessing..When I was in UDS, I said when pepeni becomes president or gets leadership in the south, they will bring their uncivilized behavior to the south..more than a decade and it’s happening..because when u go to the north, okada is their main source of transportation since most of them can’t afford cars so they think it’s a normal thing..vote for pepeni to lead Ghana, get uncivilized behavior happening in Ghana..I saw this coming more than 15years ago..if u go to the north, u will understand why these people only resort to okada..now Ghana is about to be turned into Pakistan..let’s stop voting these pepefuo into power..

Ghana is doomed. So sad. Major cities in Nigeria have phased out okada which are confined to only the outskirts. No okada can be found in Ikeja, Ogba, Maryland, Yaba, Surulere, Ojuelegba, Oshodi, Shomolu, Victoria Island, Ikoyi, etc. Did the Minister check from other modern cities in Africa before laying this bill before Parliament? Does Ghana not have modern cities? By allowing okada business in our cities, Ghana is becoming a primitive country.

This decision is going to make our country look more underdeveloped and disorganized. Just look at the traffic in Uganda were Okada riders are allowed to operate. It is just one big chaos everywhere.

With this bill I hope authorities will ensure that operators of these vehicles have the necessary license and registration for the cycles. It is common knowledge that a greater percentage of the operators don't have riding permits or have it but it's expired. Most of the cycles are also not registered with the DVLA. Another serious danger is the invasion of minors into the business due to lack of opportunities to continue their education or alternative source of income. The police usually turn a blind eye to these infractions. Maybe it's due to the lack of legislation on the operations of these Okada operators. But now that a bill has been passed, the police will be up and doing.

A parliament which cannot think beyond OKADA discussions.

I weep for you, Mother Ghana.

Other nations of Ghana's rank are thinking about enhancing their existing modern public transportation systems!
