Winners receive their cars from Bolt Country Manager
Leading ride-hailing platform in Africa, Bolt, has rewarded some of its top drivers for their impressive performance and contribution to the business in 2022.
The top two drivers received brand-new Suzuki cars, while the Best New Driver was rewarded with a Nasco refrigerator. The drivers were rewarded for, among other things, completing more trips, going online more, and maintaining stellar ratings on the Bolt platform.
The first 50 new drivers of the year were also feted, while those that signed up and took their first Bolt trip within 24 hours were also rewarded with fuel coupons.
The two top drivers, Ebenezer Adu and Vincent Amoah, were handed the keys to their new Suzuki Alto and Suzuki Swift cars at a ceremony held at the Bolt Ghana office with other drivers in attendance. Aaron Gbadam also received his reward for being the Best New Driver.
David Kotei, Country Manager for Bolt Ghana, expressed his excitement at seeing more drivers get rewarded by Bolt in addition to the regular income. In his speech at the awards ceremony, he noted, “At Bolt, our drivers are at the heart of our business. It is because of their dedication, passion,impressive performance, and contribution to the business that we have today rewarded over 40 drivers in Ghana”.
Touching on the Bolt’s success story in Ghana, he said, “Bolt is proud to partner with ordinary Ghanaians in making their own ambitions for their lives come true. Since we started in Ghana, our service has not only been received warmly but has been widely accepted as a profitable option for Ghanaians seeking full-time or part-time employment.”
He used the opportunity to encourage other drivers who were not rewarded to continue giving their best and serving riders diligently.
Ebenezer Adu one of the winners expressed his appreciation to Bolt Ghana for his new car, saying, “I was a taxi driver for 10 years and later switched to driving Bolt for 2 years. I’ve had a much better experience on Bolt than I ever have in my 12 years of driving and I’m happy to have been rewarded with a brand-new car.”
Also, Vincent Amoah, another winner, in his remarks said, “I’ve been driving with Bolt for three years now and the interesting thing I’ve always told myself whenever I drive past the Bolt offices is that the white car belongs to me. Here I am, winning this car for real.”
Parliament has clarified public commentary on social media regarding a notice on its notice board that read “No Vacancy for National Service Personnel 2026/2027. Kindly go for reposting.”
In a statement, signed by the Director of Media Relations, David Sebastian Damoah, Parliament said the notice has been misconstrued and was not a policy statement, a freeze on national service placements, or a change in its support for the National Service Scheme.
According to Parliament, the notice was a routine administrative message to prospective personnel who reported to the House, informing them that it has received more personnel than it can accommodate for the 2026/2027 service year and that they should seek reposting to other institutions.
It said it remains committed to the National Service Scheme and values the contribution of service personnel to its work, and regrets any confusion or inconvenience the wording may have caused.

Ghanaian public advocate Hopeson Yaovi Adorye has been elected to the Board of Directors of the World Taxpayers Association (WTA).
The election took place on Sunday, October 5, 2026, during the Association’s conference in Kraków, Poland.
His election marks a significant addition to his international leadership portfolio and provides a platform for Ghanaian and African perspectives to contribute to global discussions on taxpayer rights, responsible taxation, transparency and prudent management of public resources.
Reacting to his election, Mr. Adorye expressed appreciation to the leadership and members of the WTA for the confidence reposed in him.
“I am deeply honoured by this confidence and conscious of the responsibility that comes with it. Taxpayers are at the heart of every economy, and they deserve fairness, transparency, accountability and value for the taxes they pay. I look forward to working with colleagues from across the world to strengthen the voice of taxpayers and promote responsible fiscal governance,” he said.
According to him, taxation should not be viewed solely as a mechanism for raising government revenue, but also as an important component of the social contract between citizens and the state.
Mr. Adorye said governments have a responsibility to ensure taxes are collected fairly and public resources are utilised efficiently to deliver quality infrastructure, healthcare, education, security and other essential services.
His election also creates an opportunity to bring African experiences into international conversations on taxation and public expenditure.
Mr. Adorye, who is Executive Director of Taxpayers League Ghana, has previously served as Global Board Chairman of the International Youth Network for UN Security Council Resolution 2250, an NGO associated with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC).
He is expected to use his new role to champion fiscal accountability, taxpayer education, good governance and stronger citizen participation in public financial management.
