Two
journalists in the region have caused the arrest of a Metro Mass driver for
over loading. The Journalist Joseph Ziem
of the Daily Dispatch and Saaka Alhassan of Filla Fm who were onboard the
Sunyani bus said several complains by
passengers on board that they were overloading the bus received no attention
from management of the company compelling the two to make a distress call to
the Northern Regional Manager of the Road Safety Commission, Alexander Ayartah
leading to the arrest of the driver at Buipe in the Central Gonja district. Mr.
Akomea Manu, 45 was detained for some few minutes and charged for overloading.
He will appear before a court of competent jurisdiction on Tuesday, 15 of
September, 2014. The bus with
registration number AS 9340 Z, has a total capacity of 63 but took over 78
passengers. Speaking in an interview with Mr. Alexander Ayartah he said this
particular case will be use as a case study since the National Manager of Metro
Mass Transit Ltd was a former Road Safety manager in the country. He warned
drivers who flout road safety regulations to be cautious or will face the full
rigorous of the law under his leadership as a road safety manager in the
region.
