According to him, the next NDC government will supply motorcycle operators credit to use on hire-purchase and pay as they work.

"We are going to legalize commercial motorcycle business to remove all the impediments on your business. To strengthen the motorcycle business you're doing, we are also going to supply you the motorcycle you use on hire-purchase so you take your time to pay," he said at a durbar at Juabo in the Amenfi Central constituency as of his five-day campaign tour of the Western Region.

As part of the tour, he will address the chiefs and people in a number of constituencies as well as interact with cocoa farmers, small scale miners, fishermen, fishmongers, traders, transporters, market women, Zongo groups, teachers, and other professional groups.
