The government is being urged by the Concerned Drivers Association of Ghana to reinstate road toll collection nationwide in the 2024 budget, which is set to be presented to Parliament on Wednesday.

Additionally, the association requests that the government give funding for road repairs more priority.

The government’s budget and economic policy will be presented to Parliament on Wednesday by Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta.

The association’s public relations officer, David Agboado, stressed in an interview with Citi News how important it is that the government take the problems with road infrastructure seriously.

He suggested that the workers, the majority of whom were people with disabilities, would benefit from the reinstatement of road tolls.

Mr. Agboado suggested a careful reexamination of the reinstatement of road tolls, proposing that the money raised be set aside for desperately needed road repairs.

“Our roads are very deplorable, and the government should fix them and bring back the toll service so that our physically challenged brothers and sisters will also get work to do and get proceeds to fix the roads.” He said.
