Road tolls less than GH 5 are not acceptable – Chair of Parliament’s Roads Committee

The head of the committee overseeing roads and highways in parliament, Kennedy Osei Nyarko, wants the price of road tolls to be set at GH5.

He added that paying GH5 as toll will assist the government increase money for the country.

He was speaking to journalists about the government’s proposed reintroduction of road tolls and said only that amount of money will be considered as the toll rate.

“After suspending the road tolls for more than a year, why do we just add 50 pesewas to it? As the Roads Committee Chair, I will not support anything less than GH¢5. I am doing that based on the average road toll in the subregion and globally which is $1.”
