Commercial drivers at Doctor Mensah in Kumasi, Ashanti Region, have shown support for Finance Minister Dr. Mohammed Amin Adam's plan to reintroduce road toll taxes.

Dr. Mohammed Amin Adam unveiled the road toll reintroduction during the mid-year budget review on Tuesday, July 23, 2024, with implementation slated for 2025.

The drivers believe that this toll system will benefit them by funding better road infrastructure and promoting trade development.

In an interview with OTEC NEWS reporter Maame Akosuah Gyamfuaa on Sunday, July 24, 2024, they emphasized the need for the government to address potential traffic delays that could arise from toll collection.

Concerns were also raised about potential corruption among tax collectors, with suggestions for an electronic payment system to ensure transparency and proper handling of funds.

The drivers called on the government to use the additional toll revenue for road construction and maintenance to ensure that the funds effectively improve the road network.
