Alan supporters defy NPP’s directive, stage mammoth walk in Kumasi
In what could be described as a mammoth walk, hundreds of supporters participated in the walk dubbed the ‘Aduru Wo Su’ health walk. The walk which was organized by a collective pro-Alan group was aimed at whipping up support for the Trade and Industry Minister’s flagbearership ambitions for the 2024 polls. In an interview with Kumasi-based Silver FM, General Secretary of the NPP, Justin Frimpong Kodua, a day before the event, indicated that he had called on the organisers to call it off. According to the general secretary, the planned walk would contravene the code of ethics outlined ahead of the party’s opening of nominations for flagbearer election and campaigns. “I am asking that for the love and respect they have for me, and in the interest of the party, they call off the walk,” the General Secretary said.

Zoomlion Not Incharge Of GPRTU Mandatory Towing Levy – GPRTU Rubbishes Claims
The Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU) has emphatically stated that the union has no collaboration whatsoever with Zoomlion Ghana Limited for their upcoming Mandatory Towing Levy. It is therefore unfortunate that Bright Simons will engineer such a wild allegation in an effort to spark an unnecessary uproar within our rank and file. The Leadership of GPRTU has had broad consultations with our members across the nation and do not understand what Bright Simons meant by “membership ballot”. These fatalities were associated with stationary and or broken down vehicles on the road as reported by the National Road Safety Authority. The GPRTU is poised and ready to implement the initiative with the Road Safety Management Services Limited and other stakeholders.
