The Opposition National Democratic Congress Member of Parliament for Shai Osudoku Constituency, Hon. Linda Obenewa Ocloo has begun securing insurance and licenses for 2,500 Okada riders in the Constituency.
According to the MP, the poor nature of roads in the constituency make Okada an ideal transportation service which facilitates the mobility of the constituents, therefore, the need to secure license and insurance for the riders as efforts are underway to construct the roads.

“I took upon myself to secure licenses and Insurance for the almost 2,500 Okada riders in this constituency. So far we have provided 500 Okada riders with insurance. The insurance has a cover of Gh3000 so in case of an accident the person will get insurance cover of Gh1000 if injured or Ghc2000 if the person unfortunately dies”
The MP revealed this when she threw a party for children, widows and the aged
and other target groups including taxi and Okada riders at her residence in Dodowa to mark the new year.
