[@kobesah5239]

Great job Ghana police/Citi fm. Hopefully this collaboration to check indiscipline in society will be a success. We appreciate you!!!

[@frontline7074]

Why process people to go to Court !!!. Create a ticket system for various offenses and let them pay the ticket in the transport coffers. If they don't want to pay then they can go to court to defend the ticket.

[@mahamadusumani]

I totally agree with your suggestion. The Police should be empowered to issue violating motorists with fines. If the motorist wishes to contest the fine, then he appears in court, it’s as simple as that.

[@prindustv4377]

Until that is done, they have to go to court

[@missbabyloved7531]

These busy roads should be double lanes. Come on Ghana 🇬🇭

[@Ghanaba23]

Ghana and Indiscipline!!! I hope the police will realize their full power, arrest anyone who breaks the law irrespective of their position.. good job done

[@solomon-ox1eo]

People must learn to obey.

[@agworldtv1939]

I must say that am highly impressed and I think same thing must be done with sanitation because if this is done Ghana will be clean like Singapore

[@ragamuffinhooligan4019]

It will be hard, but it can be done...only with sustained enforcement.

[@lydiat5572]

I applaud you Citi tv and the police. I really hope this continues. Great work!!!!

[@photographybyabi9379]

they need to improve infrastructure first before start arresting people. I got stopped by police in Accra for going the wrong way down a one way road but there were no signage...

[@asonabakwabrafosoobuasi8260]

Good work. The right thing must be done. Asonaba Kwabrafoso Obuasi

[@daddigodwill3137]

The road signs are also bad, we need modern infrastructures with quality road sighs!........Too much of useless billboard too make the the city filty!

[@quarquorpon]

Ghana Police, let this not be one day wonder. It should be done in all the regions and cities. Danke Shon!

[@eugeneandy8728]

If possible show us the court session of arrested drivers to be sure these people are really taken to court or it's been solved man to man behind cameras.

[@africansunshine7277]

Yes this is what we want to see

[@kingofzamunda1919]

Very good question.

[@ghanasian0077]

Defo.. The culprits even argue about the cameras and not the offence.. Serious.. Please show us the court proceedings..

[@ghanasian0077]

Keep the videos coming citi news..

[@boatengb99]

Good work guys but what I also want to put across to the appropriate authorities who fall within this jurisdiction is; if you want to curb driving on the shoulders of the Spintex road please ensure that the markings that clearly demarcate the boundaries of the road are clearly visible to indicate a two lane road. This way, anyone who goes out of the lane cannot have any arguments with the law enforcement agents when they are caught because; "THE LANES ARE CLEARLY MARKED"!!!!!! My second submission has to do with the responsibility on both users of the road and those in charge of the construction, safety and maintenance of everything related to the road. If law enforcement agents can ensure that laws concerning the usage of our roads be adhered to; I believe then that it also fair for you CitiTv to also on behalf of users of the road to also push that authorities ensure that everything concerning the construction, maintenance and safety of the road and its users are enforced. Typical example; all roads from the Kotoka International Airpot right through the Spintex road to Sakumono are pitch dark at night without any visible markings on the road. This I believe creates an unjust scale in terms of responsibility on the part of our authorities. So I believe this should be an appetizer for the next project after the war against indiscipline which I fully support. Thanks

[@awaybus007]

Benjamin Boateng 👏 yes! How can you uphold what you can’t see? Authorities also need to do their part. Make sure they provide all that’s needed, so people have no choice but to follow the rules. That way, you break the law, it’s plain as day.

[@atoprah2660]

You are doing a great job Sir, kindly keep it up!

GOOD REPORTER. KEEP IT UP.LOVE YOUR PRESENTATION. I WILL GIVE YOU MY SISTER WAI. KEEP IT UP.

[@willypapa9165]

some roads should be 2 Lanes on each side by now. Spintex is a busy road and must be at least 2 Lanes on each side.

[@egyirstanislav9128]

At a point when the government and police are not solving traffic problems that have persisted for years, human nature will not allow people to keep to the rules. #problemsolvers

[@sulemansalifu]

I can tell U with STONEWALL CERTAINTY as a Ghanaian in Botswana , that the MP who allegedly flouted the TRAFFIC RULES .....would have been suspended from Parliament and heavily sanctioned ...Apart from the POLICE ACTION to be taken by the LAW....That is why Botswana is highly praised for DEMOCRACY........What action will be taken against this MP by the GHANA PARLIAMENT?.....

[@yawpapa12]

They should do a show on the court proceedings it would be a great hit !!

[@florencegeorge7217]

I can't believe my eyes. People are not following the rules at all

[@awaybus007]

So WHY THE HELL was the MP sent off and allowed to KEEP driving in the middle of the road after - 1. Reckless endangerment to other drivers in the first place by driving against traffic 2. Refusal to stop initially 3. Being chased, therefore causing even more danger to the public Smh, Ghana. This. Is. Why. The. Laws. Don’t. Work. He had the officer sit in his farm and sweet talked him into being released. He should have been placed in handcuffs IMMEDIATELY he was apprehended. Pius is the kind of leader we want- one who leads by example. Traffic is painful to sit through, but you’re not better than anyone. If these so-called MPs and other officials lived like the rest of us, they would be forced to see the problems we face and inclined to work on solutions. After all, how can you know what’s wrong if you don’t experience it?

[@davidklido9610]

The license and road worthy can be checked via a code without arresting the driver.

[@awaybus007]

They use it because they are selfish, thoughtless people. They use this vehicle to not feel the deplorable road conditions they refuse to fix. Rather than invest in good, smooth roads that will help us ALL maintain our cars and enjoy driving, they use government funds to buy vehicles that drive smoothly enough to keep them far removed from reality.

[@blackstar5056]

I have a Question, please ask the MP and other dignitaries that when they travel outside to Europe and America and they default traffic rules, do they beg the police and have the audacity to tell the police I will like to have a private talk with you in my car. Why when the dignitaries travel outside they respect the rules and regulations there more than our own country. You there not try that in America.

[@intraordinarylife]

But we must have visible road signs in place. If people are clearly warning with signs, of just your police hand signs etc, then we will get better. Do we even have proper driving test as in theory test and practical driving tests in place before people get their licenses? Come on, if you put systems in place and *always* enforce it, people will follow. I’m ashamed when I think Rwanda 🇷🇼 suffered from a war and as been able to fix economy, policies etc and we can’t after 62 years of peace and billions of aid. Shameful.

They flout some road and traffic regulations all in the name of National assignment. Only for you to know that they are not on any assignment. But this same officers will pretend to be law abiding when someone else flouts these rules.

[@stevieO2]

The police are just doing their job and rightfully so, but what gives your outfit Cititv the right to video citizens without their permission or that the police being disposed to authority automatically gives the journalists the right to usurp such a position and turn this into a reality TV show? Isn't it expressed in our constitution that the dignity of all persons shall be inviolable? I mean if found to be breaking traffic laws or not, aren't people reserved the right to interact with the police without a media circus ........or that there is presupposition that everyone is guilty so yh , nobody has a say in who gets to make a video or reality tv off them. lets face the facts , Citi tv really is all about the views n everything is really putting lipstick on a pig !! Nothing will become of the "big men" !!
