What’s so special about MPs and judges to get car sirens? – Nyaho-Tamakloe

A founding member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe, is up in arms about why legislators want preferential treatment on Ghana's roads.

He finds it worrying that MPs would even consider legislation to enforce their rights to use sirens and drive devoid of speed limits.

In an exclusive interview with JoySports' Atsu Tamakloe, expressed his bewilderment over the development.

"Look at this sort of thing that came up a couple of days ago, that MPs should be given sirens. And I sat down and I said, what is happening to this country?" Dr. Nyaho-Tamakloe remarked.

The Ministry of Transport had previously laid the LI before Parliament to amend portions of the Road Traffic Regulations 2012. If passed, it would grant Members of Parliament (MPs) and Ministers of State privileges typically reserved for emergency and specialized vehicles.
