Accra-based Citi FM reports that the drivers vowed not to pay the tolls until the deplorable roads in the Madina Municipality are fixed.
“We met with the assembly and expressed our sentiments. We asked them to reduce the time frame for the collection of the tolls. That was accepted, but our members are agitating because the tolls were being collected from 4:00am and 11:00pm,” one of the aggrieved drivers is quoted as saying.

Meanwhile, others also claimed that they are protesting because the time-frame for the collection of the toll is too long.
