General News of Thursday, 28 March 2019Source: Myjoyonline.comDon't rush to legalise 'Okada' - Transport consultantOkada remains barred for commercial purposesA transport consultant, Cecil Garbrah, has advised the country not to rush into legalising the operations of motor riders, known locally as Okada riders. Okada remained barred for commercial purposes also because it continues to be a major cause of fatal road accidents in the country. However, the transport consultant said the country is not ready, questioning the basis the commercial motorcycle business should be legalised. He said he was left wondering what Parliament will do next, regarding the law against the operations of Okada riders. “The service is happening because they cannot arrest them and I am telling you for sure that out of 100 Okada riders only 10 of them have a license,” he stated.
