  There are two types of people on earth. One type see only problems but the other type see opportunities in every difficult situation. Reading through the reactions above, it is clear that people are seeing only the problems that will be associated with formalizing okada business. The often sighted problem is indiscipline among okada operators. Really? A whole country of more than 30 million people are unable to instill discipline among a few okada riders nationwide? Unbelievable! The advantages of okada transportation far outweigh the problems. Let me just give a few strategies to overcome the problems.
  1. Formalize okada business with the needed legislations.
  2. Organize riders into a union with clear leadership at designated centers within each city.
  3. Liaise with the leadership at national, regional and city levels to have operational guidelines that conform with the laws of Ghana, and the bye-laws of the cities and towns.
  4. License riders and let the leaders lead in regulating their conduct on the roads and at the various stations.
  5. Ministries of Road, Transport, and Local Governments meet to consider re-designing the town and city road networks to cater for the needs of all motor-riders and decongest the main highways for cars and lorries.
  6. The Ministry of Youth Development design and implement a plan for continuous capacity-building of the young riders on business development, personal and public safety, etc.
  This is just thinking off the head and not rocket science.

  Massa it’s not about problems..all the long essay u wrote is fully bogus..Because 1. Ghana don’t have specific roads for okada riders or pedestrians..Ghana is gradually developing and we must be learning from civilized developed countries and not some failed countries..do u know some countries are even fading away the use of okada? Even Nigeria recently banned okada in some of its cities..India is doing same..The world is moving fast and as Africans we also need to catch up and stop this out date and uncivilized ways of doing things..the govt needs to invest in proper modernized transportation system like speed trains, electric buses, structured buses..long rails from one city to another and stop this nkruse okada as if we are in Pakistan or India..China recently launched an air taxi that could fly from one place to another..they are working on it to make it a reality..As for Africans dieer, we are alwys in class 1..Okada is uncivilized ways of transportation..it’s not safe aswell..the fact that he used it for campaign does not mean he needs to do that rubbish..we are in 2025 for Christ sake..let’s think ahead because those countries modernizing their countries are not better than u and I..they are humans too

  Okavango and Pragia must be banned in Accra.
  We can consider okada for courier services for the pragia out right ban in Accra.
