The 2016 flagbearer of the Progressive People Party (PPP), Dr. Papa Kwesi Nduom has expressed gratitude over government’s decision to discontinue the mandatory towing levy scheduled to start in July.
According to him, he would have been part of a demonstration to protest the implementation of the towing levy that he said doesn’t make sense.
“Reports that the Akufo-Addo Administration has decided not to implement the mandatory towing levy is welcome news. It is a good move. I would have joined a coalition formed against the mandatory towing levy to march up and down this country, north, south, east and west because it just did not make any sense. Why make every vehicle owner pay for the problems caused by a few identifiable people? The law should be amended to put the levy where it belongs. Tow the vehicles and make the owners pay for the breakdowns. Give the contract for towing to whichever company or companies that have the capability to do the work. That’s all,” he wrote.
A statement signed by the Minister of Transport, Mr Kwaku Ofori Asiamah, on Sunday, said the review would seek to remove from the law specifically the concept of mandatory towing levy on all owners and persons in charge of motor vehicles and trailers and also limit the role of the government in the provision of towing services for only licensing and regulating service providers.
