The Ghana Committed Drivers Association (GCDA) is against the implementation of the “Mandatory Tow Levy.”
Parliament's Roads and Transport Committee approved the controversial levy which will come into operation on September 1, 2017.
According to the Chairman of the Committee, Mr. Samuel Ayeh-Paye, the decision was arrived at after extensive consultations with stakeholders in the road and transport industry.
However, in a statement signed by its chairman, Charles Danso, GCDA has called on the ministry of transport and other stakeholders involved to 'halt the implementation of the mandatory towing levy.
The group has further indicated that they will embark on a ‘Yentua Demonstration’ if the levy is not halted.
"The Association wants to declare that we are not in favor of this towing levy. The Association therefore is calling on the Ministry of Transport, Government, Roads and highways, Road Safety Commission to halt the implementation of the Mandatory Towing Levy. The Association is expressing or declaring a nationwide demonstration to protest against the implementation of this levy. The demonstration will be called “Yentua Demonstration”.
"We wish to inform all Drivers, Car owners and all stake holders to join this demonstration for the betterment of our country Ghana. We will send a notice to the Police for the date and time they can be able to protect us on this demonstration".

DON'T BEG NANA TO STOP IT BECAUSE YOU WANT NDC TO BE IN OPPOSITION FOR 50YEARS.I THOUGHT YOU WILL SAY FOREVER.WE HARVEST WHAT WE GROW.YOU GUYS VOTED FOR CHANGE AND CHANGE HAS COME WHY ARE YOU NOW BEGGING?
President Nana Addo, most Ghanaians voted you into power because we know you are a listening father. Mahama was massively voted out due to certain recalcitrant stance he took that made him unpopular. We like most of your policies so far, especially the fight against galamsey. Nana, please let those who owe vehicles pay as they are towed. Don't allow your ministers to impose anything on Ghanaians that will bring untold hardships on them to make you unpopular like Ex Prez Mahama. We want the NDC to be in opposition in the next 50 years. We don't want Ghanaians to forget their wicked reign soon.
NANA YENTUA!! TI KUNG YAO!!!
QUESTION: Have you ever seen Private car broke down and left on the middle of a road before? Its easy to push to the shoulders of the road or to the nearby filling station. Is only the big TRUCKS that you will see/find it broken on the middle of our roads, so pls our saloon and 4x4 cars should be exempted from this towing LEVY.
There was no provision for foreign registered cars and trucks to pay the levy..... No one should pay this f000lish money for somebody to chop. The worse is the contract is for 20 years.
WE WILL NOT PAY WE WILL FIGHT FOR OUR RIGHT ENOUGH OF THIS NONSES LEVY WITHOUT PROPER ACCOUNTABILITY, THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD COLLECT MONEIES THAT THE CORRUPT OFFICIALS HAVE STOLEN AND LEAVE THE POOR PEOPLE ALONE THIS NONSES MUST STOP AAAABA
