Over the past few weeks, the debate of legalizing motobicycles for commercial purposes became a topical issue in the country because the flagbearer of the opposition National Democratic Congress, John Dramani Mahama indicated that he will legalize the use of motobicycles for commercial purposes if elected.
Supporting the former President’s intention to legalize the commercial use of motobicycles, the Vice President and Policy Analyst of IMANI Ghana, Kofi Bentil has said that anyone who is not prepared to legalize and properly regulate this important transport and economically viable sub sector is not prepared to run a nation like Ghana.
According to Lawyer Kofi Bentil, the commercial use of motobicycles popularly called Okada is a major source of honest employment for many people and that Okada is also major service provider of choice in traffic locked Urban areas and underserved rural areas and elsewhere and asuch needs to be legalized and regulated.
In a statement, Lawyer Kofi Bentil said;
Okada business is
1. A major source of honest employment for many people.
2. A major service provider of choice in traffic locked Urban areas and underserved rural areas and elsewhere. If you are not prepared to legalize and properly regulate this important transport and economically viable sub sector, then you are not prepared to run a nation like Ghana.Yes it is hard work but it must be donel! Get serious and do the real work !!!!
