The National Concern Drivers Association of Ghana has stated that they are unhappy with Police and government for refusing them to drive to the major markets with the market women and food items in the lockdown areas.

Speaking on AM Drive, the National Chairman, Paa Willie said government needs explain to the security agencies on which essential workers are supposed to cross the barricade on the major roads to their various workplaces.

He added that the government must provide ID cards to market women for them to pass through to the main market places.

Deputy Information Minister, Pius Enam Hadzide in response said Market women should show their ID cards which were given to them by the local authorities to the security agencies before they will be allowed to cross the Police Barrier.
