The Mankessim Ghana Private Road Transport Union ( GPRTU ) in cooperation with Drivers Unions has warned the Mfantseman Municipal Chief Executive ( MCE ) Hon. Ike Lord Enu not to use the Ansah Lorry Station for trading.

On Tuesday, January 23, 2024, the driver’s unions in cooperation with the GPRTU branch embarked on a massive demolition exercise to demolish over 30 – 40 container stores at Ansah lorry station at Mankessim in the Mfantseman Municipality of the Central Region.

The exercise was to demolish the stores been put up in the station by the MCE which will not only affect economic activities but also create problems for the drivers.

According to the drivers, the spaces of which have been guaranteed by the Municipal Chief Executive, Hon. Ike Lord Enu to put up the containers will decongest the erea to facilitate their work.

They said the lorry station was built for the Drivers and not traders and because Makessim is a central business district the only solution to congestion in the area is to relocate the drivers while the government is also putting up a lockable store for Makert traders.

According to them, Mankessim is now traffic-free due to the proper arrangements and well-organized by the Mankessim MTTD commander, ACP Beatrice Sintim Koree who in her authority relocated the drivers into the Ansah Lorry Station to decongest the area.

“The store owners will not permit us to park our cars in front of their stores even the ones been built by the contractor in the station and it worried, ” they added.

Speaking in an interview, the leadership of the Unions, ( Co-operative Union, GPRTU, and all other unions also narrated that a meeting has been held with the Municipal Chief Executive but to no avail, standing tall that he(MCE) is capable and has the authority to do even more of that.

They said the MCE in his capacity and authority wants to do whatever he wants in the municipality, especially Mankessim but the leadership of all the Unions in Mankessim will not allow him on that.

According to them the Drivers always complain about the state of putting up of the container stores in the station it was not the reason the station was built but rather parking their cars in other to load.

They said this would hinder their work so if urgent, action is not taken the traders will take over the car park and the only result of that is to go back to the roadside to ease traffic flow.
