Afeku before you push for the legalisation of motor bikes for commercial purposes in Ghsna .please take a trip to Uganda and visit Mulago Hospital to see the mayhem these motor bikes have caused to Ugandans. it is dangerous and should not be legalized. The threat to human lives far outweighs it's economic benefits

This should never happen in our country. You see how women are carried on the bikes in different countries. They are vulnerable to accidents, plus we don't want too many bikes weaving through our traffic. What's wrong with Afeku? We need better planners than the Afeku office.

NO to Okada. This idea should not be entertained. It is dangerous and will create mayhem in the transportation industry. It should not be allowed. Motorcycles should be licensed to carry the rider and another passenger, not a paying passenger. This is a recipe for disaster and anguish.

This afeku woman is beginning to bore me...which civilised state has motorbikes as a means of transport? You're not thinking in the long-term...consider the mindset of those motorbike owners...look at how they even appear, their way of doing things...have you considered how congested and primitive our cities would look like? There's going to be many buses that will reduce the amount of automobiles on our roads. And there's going to be alternative job avenues that will serve as a substitution for this dirty mirror business... THINK WELL

If you want to increase the death tolls in Ghana go ahead and do it. It's a very bad idea very very bad Parliament should not support it

Not okada. Does she think we 're in the 18th century? Okada? What a disgrace for Ghana.
Does she know how Nigerians 're battling to eliminate it.

Stop this nonsense and think outside the box for appropriate commercial transportation -public railways, public or mass bus transport system. This Okada nonsense will lead to serious accidents on Ghana's roads.

When NIgeria is taking all steps to get rid of Okada menace, Ghana is considering its introduction. Robbery will be on the increase, traffic congestion, accidents, pollution and rise in lawlessness should be expected.

If for the sake of job creation then prostitution should be legalized as it will also create jobs. Or government should register all illegal drug dealers, give them proper training so they also contribute towards the economy. Madam no amount of training will put sense in the mind of these riders. If anything at all look at the mayhem lorry drivers take us through everyday. No this okada transport issue is a menace and should be discarded completely. Please Madam Afeku and others in authority, take note and do all that is necessary to lessen our woes.

Look at what she is also encouraging ? Okada to be used for commercial purpose ,why?The problem of President appointing someone like Ms Afeku who has no knowledge about effective,efficient ,safe and mass mode of transport system to enhance free flow and safe movement of people in their daily activities .The use of okada should not be encouraged in ghana,its dangerous and accident prone,pollute the enviroment by fumes and noise,its careless riden and used by thevies,its also nuisance on our roads and cant not contribute to the development of our modern transport system.This crude okada transportation is banned in many countries hence should also be banned completely ,if Ms. Afeku lack any vision to develope the transport system into a modern one she can please contact CHARTER INSTITUTE OF LOGISTICS AND TRANSPORT GHANA to support her ,ghana needs a seemlingless intergrated transport system to encourage mass mode of transport safely in both goods and people ,thanks

What is wrong with Afeku? Which tourists want to see okada in Ghana? Here in Nigeria, okada is banned in major cities. Okada is used to rob and assassinate people. Ghanaians must not tolerate okada at all.

The Minister should have verified from the ministry of Transportation on what the laws says. The LI 2180 ,128 specifically prohibits the use motorbikes and tricycles to carry fare paying passengers. We have not managed our road safety problems well. How then can we have many more deaths on our roads. This can not happen.
