Regional Minister-designate for Greater Accra, Henry Quartey has said if confirmed as Regional Minister, he would ensure that persons who abuse the use of the siren on the roads of the region are punished.

The Regional Minister-designate was speaking when he appeared before Parliament’s Appointments Committee on Monday, 1 March, 2021.

He said: “What I am about to say will not be nice in the ears of [my] colleagues (MPs). The abuse of sirens.”

Touching on innovations he would bring to the region, Mr Quartey added that: “When given the nod, I would ensure that the abuse of sirens and blue lights are minimized. This is an innovation I want to bring to the region”.
