Two
journalists in the region have caused the arrest of a Meto Mass driver for over
loading. The Journalist Joseph Ziem of
the Daily Dispatch and Saka Alhassan of Filla Fm who were onboard the
Sunyani bus said several complains by passengers
on board that they were overloading the bus received no attention from
management of the company compelling the two to make a distress call to the
Northern Regional Manager of the Road Safety Manager, Alexander Ayartah leading
to the arrest of the driver at Buipe in the Central Gonja district. Mr. Akomea
Manu, 45 was detained for some few minutes and charged for overloading. He will
appear before a court of competent jurisdiction on Tuesday, 15 of September,
2014. The bus with registration number
AS 9340 Z, has a total capacity of 63 but took over 78 passengers. Speaking in
an interview with Mr. Alexander Ayartah he said this particular case will be
use as a case study since the National Manager of Metra Mass Transit Ltd was a
former Road Safety manager in the country. He warned drivers who flout road
safety regulations to be cautious or will face the full rigorous of the law
under his leadership as a road safety manager in the region.
