The Minister for the Interior Ambrose Derry has questioned the appropriateness of former President John Mahama’s promise to legalize the operations of commercial motorcycles popularly referred to as Okada.
In an interview with Citi FM ,Mr Ambrose Derry said;
John Mahama was president before and okada was with us. He didn’t do anything about it. Okada riders are not above the law. We have traffic lights but when others stop, they pass. So we need to allow them to operate, but if we do, they have to operate within the law. Currently, we are not legalizing it. Okada should be harmonized and as far as possible, if the law permits them to operate effectively and contribute to the general good, we will consider it,” he said.
