The President of Serial Callers Association Issahaku Mubarak Mbaba, popularly known as ‘Landlord’, has commended President John Dramani Mahama’s initiative to regularize the Okada and tricycle business in Ghana. Apexnewsgh reports
Mbaba believes the Okada initiative will provide employment opportunities for unemployed youths and help reduce crime rates in society. He noted that the introduction of tricycle riding during Mahama’s previous administration has been successful in engaging youths and reducing robbery and stealing.
Mahama’s plan aims to transform the Okada business by introducing electric tricycles, providing a more eco-friendly and sustainable solution. The Okada Riders Association of Ghana has welcomed this initiative, expressing confidence in Mahama’s ability to fulfill his promise.
They believe that legalizing and regulating the Okada business will improve safety and security for riders and passengers.
It’s worth noting that Mahama’s initiative has been met with criticism from some quarters, with concerns raised about the safety and environmental impact of the Okada business.
He further accused the NPP of intentionally making life difficult for Cando riders during Rockson Bukari’s tenure as Upper East Regional Minister. This allegation suggests a deliberate attempt to disrupt the livelihoods of Cando riders, who are likely already facing significant challenges.
However, the Upper East Serial Caller’s President and the Okada Riders Association believe that with proper regulation and support, the Okada business can provide a viable source of employment and income for many youths in Ghana.
