It is because of their dedication, passion,impressive performance, and contribution to the business that we have today rewarded over 40 drivers in Ghana”.

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.”

188 vehicles impounded in Kumasi as Police crack down on fake sirens and illegal car modifications
The Ghana Police Service has launched a major clampdown in the Ashanti Region targeting drivers using unauthorized sirens, strobe lights, and illegally modified vehicles.
The special operation, led by the Ashanti Regional MTTD with support from the Central MTTD in Accra and officers from National Headquarters, focused on two busy hotspots: Airport Roundabout and Santasi Roundabout in Kumasi.
During the exercise, 188 vehicles were stopped for various traffic violations. Officers removed and seized illegal sirens, horns, strobe lights, and improvised headlamps fitted on both private and commercial vehicles.
Beyond the seizures, drivers were taken through road safety education and cautioned to adhere strictly to the Road Traffic Regulations. Police also warned against the unlawful use of road shoulders and verges, which often causes congestion and accidents.
According to the Police, the operation forms part of a wider national campaign to restore discipline, improve road safety, and stop the misuse of emergency signals by unauthorized persons.
“The Ghana Police Service will continue these enforcement exercises across the country. Our goal is to ensure order on our roads and protect all road users,” statement said.
Residents in Kumasi welcomed the move, with many commending police for cracking down on vehicles that impersonate emergency and security cars.
