The leadership of the Ghana Private Road and Transport Union (GPRTU) said they will no longer consult the government or the Ghana Road Transport Coordinating Council (GRTCC) in the adjustment of transport fares across the country.
According to GPRTU, they are mandated by any law of the country to consult the government for the adjustment of fares.
“We want to let the government know that as the association with the largest members of commercial drivers, we are on our own and we will henceforth increase transport fares anytime the price of petroleum product is reviewed at the pump,” the national communications officer of the union, Alhaji Imoro Abass said.
He said “when petrol prices were increased, we were not consulted so why should we consult the government when transport fares have to go up. Why should we as an association consult the government in the first place?
“We all buy eggs and when the price of the commodity was increased was the government consulted”?
GPRTU spoke on Accra-based Joy News monitored by apexnewsgh.com on Monday, May 9, 2022.
