Transport
operators urged to ensure accident-free yuletide
Accra, Dec. 24, Ghanadot/GNA - The Ghana
Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU) of Ghana Trades Union
Congress (GTUC), on Monday urged transport owners to ensure
a peaceful and accident-free Christmas.
The group cautioned transport owners to maintain their
vehicles, guarantee that their drivers operated with care
and avoided taking alcohol to ensure that passengers were
safely transported to their destinations during the
Yuletide.
A statement signed by Mr. Alando Sidik, General Secretary of
Union expressed the hope that transport owners would live up
to the task to make this year’s celebrations absolutely
accident-free.
It said “We have to admit that the journey had not been very
smooth. There were few lapses in our performances resulting
in some incidents involving some of our members and we take
this opportunity to apologise for such unpleasant
incidents”.
The statement urged transport owners to improve upon their
performance and strive higher.
It said “Through thick and thin GPRTU has been able to
survive as a union and sailed through the year 2008
successfully and we wish Ghanaians a Merry Christmas and a
prosperous new year”.
