His comment comes after the Deputy Transport Minister, Hassan Tampuli urged the public to disregard the Concerned Drivers Association’s notice of a 15 per cent fare increase set for November 2.

According to him, fare adjustments depend on factors like fuel price stability, inflation, and other economic indicators, which he says are currently stable.

Speaking to the media, Mr Tampuli stated, “We’ve heard some noises coming from the Drivers’ Union about the threat of an increase in lorry fares.

I want to say here, unequivocally, that there’s no basis for any such increase in lorry fares between now and the next six months.

Reacting to this thwe public relations officer for the concerned drivers association david Agboado dismissed Deputy Transport Minister, Hassan Tampuli remarks, insisting that the Transport Ministry cannot dictate when transport operators adjust fares.

He argued that increased prices of vehicles, spare parts, and fuel necessitate the planned fare hike to keep their businesses viable.
“My first question to you to ask Hassan Tampuli for me is, does he exist on this planet Earth called Ghana? The price of a vehicle has increased more than 100%.

The price of a lubricant has increased more than 57%. You should go and check the market.

“The price of fuel has increased, so what is he saying? … We are doing business as transporters. We are not doing business as charity-running organisations… We are also charging the 15% starting on the second,” Agboado insisted.
