The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has promised to replace rickety commercial vehicles in the country through a government support initiative program dubbed “Transport Sector Recapitalization Project” (TSRP) when voted for a second term, according to National Communications Director of the party, Mr Yaw Buaben Asamoah.
He said the TSRP which has been detailed in the party’s 2020 manifesto would enable owners of rickety commercial vehicles turn-in their existing vehicles in exchange for a long term payment plan financing Made-in-Ghana vehicle.
Mr Asamoah who said this at a press conference on Monday in Accra, said, the project was driven by the lack of a long-term, efficient financing mechanism for commercial transport owners and operators.
“The new vehicle will be Made- in- Ghana by the private-sector assemblers of taxi and trotros, truck and buses.”
The component of the TSRP will extend a financing arrangement to teachers, nurses, doctors and other healthcare professionals to acquire vehicles through government-backed, private sector leases,” Mr Asamoa said.
