Due to their current situation, about seven trucks have been stolen, Chairman of the Union, Peter Adjetey told GhanaWeb. A member of the union also alleged that ever since UNI-PASS took over trade facilitation at the ports, they’ve been rendered jobless due to the technical challenges it's met with. During the interview, he said, “We’ve been jobless since last week, just after UNI-PASS took over GCNET to operate.”The drivers, together with importers, clearing agents and freight forwarders have called on the government to go back to the old system, GCNet and forgo UNI-PASS. The old system, they argued, is not time-consuming and easier to work with as compared to the UNI-PASS system.
