Commercial Drivers particularly Taxi drivers in the Tamale Township have cautioned the Driver and Vehicular Licensing Authority (DVLA) against implementation of the new licensing policy.
[contextly_sidebar id=”jIxi4a3zRKubw2JDS1fmjEvhqzHcakLj”]They are in support of their colleagues in Accra who are kicking against some aspects of the new licensing policy to be enforced by the DVLA.
Some of them in a Citi News interview served notice of embarking on strike if the DVLA does not rescind its decision.
They said complete implementation of that aspect of the new licensing policy which requires a certain grade of education will render majority of them jobless.
At the main Tamale Taxi rank, the drivers were spotted carrying passengers to their destinations.
Taxi cabs and Okada are the major sources of commercial transport in the Tamale Metropolis because there are no trotros.
Political and chieftaincy interference has always impeded efforts by the law enforcement agencies to smoke out and prosecute unlicensed motorists in the Tamale Metro Area.
