"The sad thing is lives have been lost; people – parents, children have died and people have lost their dear ones in a very senseless way,” he said during a sermon on Sunday, March 24.
"There is no need for anybody to die on the road. Ghana is a very small country, why should travelling be hazardous – it is not good, and we shouldn't allow that to happen.
"Our leadership should take note of that and not just talk about it but really do something and intervene,” Pastor Otabil added.
Friday’s accidents claimed more than 70 lives, with many more persons sustaining various degrees of injuries.
Some of the victims, 35 in all, were given a mass burial on Saturday after they were burnt beyond recognition following the gory accident.
