According to the Union, the practice of unchecked preaching and hawking inside moving trotros and buses has become a major safety and comfort concern for passengers. The Union says preachers and hawkers often distract drivers, obstruct movement and create unnecessary noise, especially during peak hours and long-distance journeys.
Under the new directive, drivers and conductors have been instructed not to allow preachers and hawkers to board moving vehicles to preach or sell goods. The Union says task forces will be deployed at major lorry stations including Kwame Nkrumah Circle, Madina, Kasoa and Kejetia to ensure compliance and sensitize the public on the new rule.
The Commercial Transport Operators Union has urged all members to comply fully starting today and warned that sanctions will be applied to drivers who violate the directive. Howedey.com will monitor enforcement across the country and bring updates on public response and government’s next steps.
