Muntaka urges tricycle operators to comply with KMA’s ban

But what we should not lose sight of as leaders is that you don’t solve a problem by creating another problem

“And I keep saying that yes what can we do to help

Yes, we cannot run away from the fact that many of them do that for a living… So, in trying to solve the problem as leaders, we need to be pragmatic so that we have a win-win

My suggestion has always been that yes we cannot allow them to continue doing what they are doing so what do we do to create some sanity in my view, the easiest way is to introduce maybe congestion charges…for the trotro, pragya and the aboboyaa,” Mr Mubarak stated.

Public Relations Officers for the Tricycle Drivers Union, Al-Asbat Alhassan Sidi says they will continue engaging with city authorities and also advise their members to comply with the directive.

So we have to go to them and assist them so that they will be no chaos.”

“…They should give us some directives to follow so that no one will lose out,” he stated.
