    OH Ghanaians! Where comes from these pessimistic attitudes? Considering how many accidents happen on our roads, as a result of broken down vehicles; how much is GHC 20 or 30? Sometimes people who demonstrate this kind of " i ...

    Please be civil in your utterances. No politics here, please. GHc 20.00 or GHC30.00 is not easy to come by in these difficult times.

  • Papa G. 6 years ago

    To you, 20 or 30 ghc. is nothing. Apart from that the title to your writeup was very bad. What has politics got to do with this? That amount if implemented will affect every one who owns a vehicle irrespective of the politica ...

    A better way to steal from the public indeed. Why don't you make laws to tow disabled vehicles at owners expense instead of charging people whose vehicles will probably not be towed?

  • Stephen Donkor, New York. 6 years ago

  • Zion Abass Ayariga 6 years ago

    Why duplications of institutions? since every vehicle pays insurance, this should have been the responsibility of the insurance companies to be enforce by the police. What is the use of the insurance companies in Ghana?

  • T This. 6 years ago

    In U S A it is an insurance issue. In GHANA we pay insurance for nothing

  • W. Goku. U.S.A 6 years ago

    Is a good idea but it should be part one's insurance policy benefits. Road assistance and towing , should be an insurance issue. The insurance companies should take care of that will the relevant companies.

  • Abdulai Mahamadu 6 years ago

    You have to assess your thinking.What is the justification towing policy will end road accident?

  • Peggy 6 years ago

    Who will be towing the fully loaded articulators and the huge trucks carrying manganese and bauxite? Good for nothing politicians who only know how to cheat and steal.

  • Kofi Adu Bediako. 6 years ago
