General News of Thursday, 22 January 2026Source: www.ghanaweb.comThe Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) taskforce at Awoshie Market has arrested 15 trotro drivers over allegations of overcharging passengers. Although the identities of the arrested drivers have not been made public, authorities claim they exploited passengers by imposing inflated fares without justification. However, a union representative, in an interview, argued that the drivers did not charge multiple fares and described the arrests as unjust. This crackdown reflects the government’s commitment to protecting passengers and ensuring transparency in the transport sector. The arrested drivers remain in AMA custody for further investigations as authorities work to prevent future incidents of price-gouging and protect commuters from exploitation.
