Commercial drivers plying the Dormaa Ahenkro-Bechem trunk road in Brong-Ahafo have expressed their disgust at the number of police barriers on the road.They alleged that police personnel at the barriers demanded monies from them without any reason and “failure to oblige to their demands leads to either the seizure of one’s driving license or prosecution for alleged traffic offences”.This was contained in a statement signed by Mr Kwasi Stephen, Secretary of Dormaa Professional Drivers Group of the Ghana Private Road Transport Union and made available to the Ghana News Agency in Sunyani on Friday.“The police on the road come to duty without their names and number and due to this we are unable to report the conduct of such police personnel to the appropriate authorities”, the drivers alleged.They alleged that they were instantly prosecuted at the Duayaw-Nkwanta circuit court for traffic offences and fined not less than GHC 900 “and we suspect foul play between the police and the court”.The drivers alleged they “pay instant charges to the police without being issued with receipts” and appealed to the appropriate authorities to help remedy the situation “or we are going to advise ourselves”.Source: GNA
