Road Safety Campaign * Ghana - Shippers Council Embarks On
Accra,Ghana -AllAfrica (USA), by Misbahu Bawa Bulmuo -5 June 2009: -- The Ghana Shippers' Council (GSC) has joined in the campaign to educate owners of heavy duty trucks and their drivers on the need to adopt safe driving habits to put an end to the numerous road crashes... The Council organized an open forum in Kumasi where stakeholders met to educate the truck owners and drivers to ensure safety as their importance in the distributive trade of the economy cannot be overemphasized... A deputy Chief Executive of the GSC, Mr. Emmanuel Martey, told participants at the forum that educating the industry players is seen as one of the necessary measures needed to infuse a culture of safety in haulage truck drivers... It is estimated that about 1800 Ghanaians die through road accidents annually and the country looses over $165 million in cargo losses which is about 1.6 percent of gross domestic product (GDP)...
