The Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly has directed all non-unionized drivers(Waawaa) to join existing unions of their choice or risk being sanctioned by authorities.

A Press release by the KMA said such operators will have a month period of moratorium to comply with the directive.

“Drivers who fail to comply and be regulated will have themselves to be blamed” the statement said.

This is part of measures instituted by the Public Health Emergency Committee of KMA in collaboration with the 24 unions in Kumasi to curb the spread of covid-19 in the metropolis.
