According to the sector minister, Joseph Bukari Nikpe, the committee is expected to complete its work within three weeks.
He stressed that this move is part of efforts by the Mahama government to legalize the use of motorcycles for commercial purposes.
In a media interview after inaugurating the committee, on Tuesday, March 18, Mr. Bukari Nikpe mentioned that the government hopes to allow the use of ‘okada’ for commercial purposes following the review of the law.
“We want them to use motorcycles and tricycles for commercial purposes, and exactly that is what we’re doing. We are looking within a period of three weeks for them to do all the stakeholder consultations.
“For them to bring all the ideas and suggestions that will facilitate the amendment of L.I 2180, so that we will get our young people who are desirous of using motorcycles and tricycles to earn a living to engage in that enterprise.”
