A Ranking Member for Parliament’s Roads and Transport Committee and Member of Parliament(MP) for Adaklu, Governs Kwame Agbodza has said that the legalisation of Okada is more profitable than Nation Builders Corps (NABCO).
According to Mr. Adaklu, persons who do the Okada business can create jobs within their locality and don’t need to move from their locality anywhere.
“[Legaliziaing Okada] will be useful than even NABCO, why because these people can create jobs within their locality. They don’t need to move from their locality anywhere…. [When we do this] The teacher, nurse taking Okada to school doesn’t feel he’s breaking the laws any longer. I think the former president is in tune with the realities of the times. I will be happy to see this becomes a law to make Okada a safe and profitable business.”
He further agued that, existing law that barred people from using motorbikes for commercial purposes has lost its usefulness and must be reviewed.
“Although it is not allowed and people are using it and getting injured. We should rather go back, look at the law, regulate the operations and make it safer so that people can safely be trained and to engage in genuine and legal business by conducting it as a means of transport,” he said.
