The Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU) has made an appeal to the National Insurance Commission (NIC) to reconsider the ‘no premium, no cover’ insurance policy to enable some of its members to buy comprehensive motor insurance.
The General Secretary of the union, Mr Godfed Abulbere, during a courtesy call on the Commissioner of Insurance, Dr Justice Ofori, said many of its members had come to appreciate the importance of comprehensive insurance policies over the third party insurance covers and would, therfore, love to buy that.
However, he said members were compelled to go in for just third party cover because of their inability to pay the premiums upfront.
Residents in Tema on Monday appealed to the Government to compel commercial drivers to reduce the number of passengers on Taxi and Trotro buses to help stop the spread of COVID-19.
In a random interview at Tema by the Ghana News Agency, scores of commuters expressed concern about the number of passengers on-board these commercial vehicles without observing COVID-19 protocols.
Madam Sarah Adjei, a commuter told the GNA that, “I am so scared of contracting the virus from a commercial bus because the six feet social distancing is not working at all in our commercial vehicles”.
Drivers and their mates virtually force passengers to sit so close to each other, in the midst of these some passengers also refuse to wear the nose masks thereby putting all other passengers at risks.
