The virtual conference includes stakeholders who have been carefully selected to discuss viable ways of curbing the road accident canker on Ghana's roads. “The way the industry was started, we have most illiterates as professional drivers but let’s ask ourselves that any time accidents occur, does it come from these illiterates or does it come from the trained drivers that he is referring to? The answer is no because most of these illiterate drivers are the ones who drive perfectly and they drive very well and so he can’t describe professional drivers as so-called professional drivers,” he said in response to a comment by the MTTD representative during the webinar. Abbas Ibrahim Moro further clarified that admittedly, most of their drivers do not formally get training before hitting the roads to drive but it is unfair they are categorized as somewhat unprofessional or unfit for the roads. The discussions are being moderated by the GhanaWebRoadSafety Ambassador, Bice Osei Kuffour, and GhanaWeb Managing Editor, Daniel Oduro.
