The executive body of the Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU), is divided over a controversial car deal with the Microfinance and Small Loans Centre (MASLOC).<\/p>\n
The General Secretary and the Chairman of GPRTU, who are said to be divided along political lines although expected to be working in the interest of their members, have taken opposing stance over the cost of some 350 vehicles they were to buy on hire-purchase from MASLOC.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”3U6CALeTO0QTubnOckvF4rA4PYElkzRF”]MASLOC, under the previous John Mahama government, signed an agreement with MAC Autos & Spare Parts Ghana Limited to procure 350 cars at an agreed amount of GHc62.2 million for subsequent sale on hire purchase arrangement to GPRTU.<\/p>\n
Negotiations on the payment for the vehicles between GPTRU and MASLOC, however ended with the exit of the former government.<\/p>\n
GPRTU was forced to restart negations with the new management of the MASLOC after the New Patriotic Party government was sworn into office in January this year.<\/p>\n
