The government is to introduce a new licensing regime for motorcycle and tricycle riders to regulate their operations, the Minister of Transport, Mr Joseph Bukari Nikpe, has said.
He explained that under the new licensing regime, the police service would be empowered to ensure that motorcycle and tricycle riders adhered to road traffic laws.
