In response to the Ghanaian government’s decision to implement a 20% fare increment for transport operators, the Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU) has urged its members to maintain current fare rates while negotiations with the government are ongoing.

The call comes after an inconclusive meeting between the union and government officials, as reported by citinewsroom.com.

Abass Moro, the Industrial Relations Officer of GPRTU, expressed optimism about reaching a resolution through continued interactions with the government. Moro stated, “We made our grievances known, and they also told us their side.

Finally, we have to go back and have another meeting. We will use your medium to tell our people [drivers] that where we have got to, we are pleading that they should still maintain what we are taking for now until we come out very clearly. So that nobody will say drivers are taking advantage of them. It’s our business that we are trying to defend.”

Starting January 2024, the recently passed Emissions Levy Bill imposes an annual fee of GH¢100 on owners of both petrol and diesel cars in an effort to promote environmentally friendly energy sources for vehicles.

The government aims to align with climate-positive actions and carbon offset initiatives through this taxation measure. In response to these developments, the GPRTU has appealed to the Speaker of Parliament, requesting a reassessment of the Emission Levy Bill.
