The founder and president of IMANI Africa, Franklin Cudjoe has raised concerns after the Ministry of Transport submitted a Legislative Instrument (L.I) to parliament, seeking to amend portions of the Road Traffic Regulations 2012.
The proposed changes, if passed, will grant Members of Parliament (MPs) and Ministers of State privileges that were previously reserved for emergency and specialised vehicles.

The amendment to Regulation 74 of LI 2180 will allow the installation of sirens or bells as warning appliances on specific classes of vehicles, including those owned by justices of the Supreme Court, MPs, and Ministers of State.
In a Facebook post on Saturday, July 13, Mr Cudjoe tagged some MPs and questioned the rationale behind the move.
