Citi Business News\u2019<\/strong> checks at some transport stations have revealed that some drivers have increased fares to about fifteen percent.<\/p>\nBut the General Secretary of the GRTCC, Andrews Kwakye said his outfit has not approved any new fares.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe transport review committee has not reviewed transport fares. We met with the Transport, Finance and Interior Ministries on Thursday but we have not reached an agreement yet,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Mr. Kwaakye added, \u201cWhatever they\u2019re charging are unapproved fares\u2026 we however understand their challenges regarding the supposed delay in the reviews considering the increases in fuel and other components, they should also understand that the review is not always about an increase.\u201d<\/p>\n
Meanwhile the Ghana Private Road and Transport Union (GPRTU) has also directed its members to halt charging the increased fares.<\/p>\n
It asked all members to hold on until such a time that the union comes up with the final decision.<\/p>\n
The National Chairman of the Ghana Private Roads Transport Union, Kwame Kuma said the union is still in negotiations with the Ministry of Transport to decide on any due increments in prices.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf any driver has increased his transport fares then he has done so on his own accord because this country is governed by laws and we have not made any announcement of an increase in transport fares, if we had media would have been the first to be informed,\u201d he told Citi Business News<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\u201cTransport fares will definitely be increased but there is a formal process we have to go through before effecting any increases. Just yesterday we were in negotiations with the Ministry of Transport and we are still in the process of effecting any price change,\u201d the GPRTU head added.<\/p>\n
