Mr. Philip K. Nkrumah, Metropolitan Chief Executive, has asked taxi drivers within the Shama Ahanta East Metropolis to register and emboss their vehicles within three months to avoid prosecution.
He said additionally each driver would be required to obtain driving identification cards (DIC) that would bear the driver’s name, lorry station, passport picture and vehicle number.
Mr. Nkrumah said this at the launch of the DIC and embossments at Sekondi.
He said drivers operating at various lorry stations would wear different uniforms.
