The transport industry in Ghana is poised for a groundbreaking transformation under Alan Kyerematen's leadership, as he unveils the "Fa Dada Begye Fofro" policy.
Speaking to leaders of transport unions in the Eastern Region during a recent campaign tour, the presidential hopeful outlined this innovative intervention, designed to make vehicle ownership more accessible and profitable for drivers and transport operators.
The "Fa Dada Begye Fofro" initiative, translated as "Exchange Your Old for a New One," offers an unprecedented opportunity for vehicle owners to trade in their old cars for brand-new, locally assembled vehicles on a work-and-pay basis. "Given the current high prices of vehicles, it has become nearly impossible for people in the transport sector to afford cars with upfront payments," Alan Kyerematen remarked. "This policy ensures drivers can own vehicles without borrowing from banks, reducing their financial burden while improving the quality of vehicles on our roads." As the originator of Ghana's vehicle assembly initiative, Alan Kyerematen is uniquely positioned to implement this program.
He emphasized the role of locally assembled vehicles in boosting the domestic automobile industry. "This is about creating opportunities for every driver to own a better vehicle while supporting our local industry.
