Owners of broken down vehicles will now pay for the cost of towing themselves after the service has been provided.
That’s the latest government decision after it scrapped the controversial mandatory towing levy.
Government has thus directed the towing companies to register with the Transport Ministry so they can begin work.
Senior Minister Yaw Osafo Marfo announced the latest decision a while ago at a meeting with towing companies.
Fees per year for both commercial and non-commercial vehicles, depending on tonnage, ranged from GHS20 to GHS200.
Under that contract, the RSML would have been entitled to 85% of all levies collected.
But as Joy News’ Joseph Opoku Gakpo reports, the levy will indeed not see the light of day.
The companies are however pushing back, insisting that what government is proposing has not worked in the past.
