Accra-Sunyani road? Quite strange because I don't know of the existence of a direct road from Accra to Sunyani other than the Accra-Kumasi road. Or now Kumasi is hated so much that no one wants to mention the name of the city anymore. Hmmm. time will tell.

Even which is far ahead of us in development collect tolls on their roads.
We want everything cheap, that is why we are behind. 65% of our GDP goes into salaries. How can we develop our country, how do we maintain our roads ...

Even which is far ahead of us in development collect tolls on their roads.
We want everything cheap, that is why we are behind. 65% of our GDP goes into salaries. How can we develop our country, how do we maintain our roads that were constructed with loans and donations?

WHY SHOULD I PAY ROAD TOLLS IF IM PAYING TAXES ON BASIC EVERYDAY GOODS AND SERVICES? LOOK AT THE AMOUNT OF TAXES PPL PAY IN GH FROM BUSINESSES ETC? THE GOVT NEEDS TO INTENSIFY THEIR TAX COLLECTION EFFORTS N WEED OUT RAMPART, UNCHECKED CORRUPTION FROM THE SYSTEM. IF THEY DO THESE, THERE WILL BE ENOUGH MONEY FOR DEVELOPMNT N INFRASTRUCTURAL PROJECTS

Why too many toll collection points on Accra-Kumasi road? What is the criteria for determining where to place a toll booth? Is it at the discretion of the road and transport minister? Why a section of the citizenry being over taxed while others continue to have a field day? WHY?

Stupid Ghanaians, just shut up and pay what we demand. Don't you know we need to fill our pockets for the good life? The gov't coffers are dry and we need to crate a new siphoining tunnel to steal your money. All you need to do is travel on these roads with your eyes closed, pay no mind to the pot holes and washed off surfaces. We're counting on you to patronise this loophole of ours. Emmm, also do not be afraid for the armed robbers have been bribed to stay off your properties but, we advice you carry with you more money and your non working bow and arrows just in case. We love you for your understanding of our slogans and support. Ebe de keke my boys.!!!!!

the money should be used for the intended purpose and not end up in the pockets of some people to the detriment of the Ghanaian populace.

I think it's good to pay the toll but the administrators of the funds should at least repair the roads around the various toll booths (ie. the Afienya Booth)

We were in this country when the prices were raised somewhere 1000% in the name of maintaining our roads in the Mills administration. To what good did that improve the condition of our roads.

Then again they came up with the Youth employment program to patch holes on roads, incredible... we all know how that ended up.

Now, another 30% increase, i must say we are simply fools to accept this.

There must be a point where enough is enough

2. Electronic tickets as is done in most advanced countries 3. Frequent auditing by national service personnel TEACHING is not the ONLY way to serve. These three basic precautions would go a long way to maximize the toll collection and revenue generation in general. ENOUGH of the blood sucking that is going on in Ghana by civil servant.
