Mr Robert Addo, the Nkawie Circuit Court Judge, has warned tricycle (Pragya) riders against breaking road traffic rules and regulations.
He said it was important for them to obey traffic regulations since they could get custodial sentences if they offended the road traffic regulations.
Mr Addo gave the warning after sentencing three riders to a total fine of GH¢
1,500.00, for offending three traffic regulations at Nkawie.
He said the riders sometimes have in mind that they were going to pay fines in court and go back home after being charged for offending traffic rules and therefore, remain recalcitrant to regulations.
This, he said, was not the case since they could be given custodial sentences as prescribed by law, hence the need for them to obey their operational rules to sustain their peace, work and livelihoods.
The three convicts were Arafat Ali, who was fined GH¢ 300.00 over the charge of driving without number plates, and would serve 30-day jail-term in default of the fine.
Samuel Awuni and Issahaku Fumpoli were fined GH¢600.00 each, over the charges of driving without licenses and insurance and would serve a total of 13 months imprisonment in default of the fine.
Police Inspector Kwaku Frimpong prosecuting, told the court that complainants in the cases were officers from the Nkawie Divisional Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) of the Ghana Police Service.
He said, on September 14, 2026, between 08:30 and 09:00 hours, the officers were on their official patrol duties to ensure sanity within the Nkawie community.
The three who were riding Pragya motors were stopped, and the offences against them were detected after careful inspections on them and their vehicles.
They were subsequently arrested, processed, charged and brought before the court. –GNA

About 120 golfers from clubs across Ghana participated in an 18-hole competition, dubbed ‘MTN 30th Anniversary CEO Invitational Golf Tournament’ held at the Achimota Golf Club on Saturday.
At the end of the hectic day, Frederick Semenu Duvor won the Men’s Group A event with 39 points, while Julienne Afi claimed the Ladies’ Group A title with the same score.
Yaw Mireku Jnr. won the Men’s Group B with an impressive 45 points, while Kous Louanges Mang took the Ladies’ Group B title with 38 points.
Kofi Mangesi won Men’s Group C with 40 points while Elorm R. Akuash Bonney claimed the Ladies’ version with 42 points.
In the Seniors Division, Jan Vogel emerged winner of the men’s category with 39 gross, while Helen Appah topped the ladies’ category with 44 gross.
Addressing participants, the company’s Board Chairman, Mr Ishmael Yamson, urged the company to approach its next phase with the same resilience, discipline and determination that have defined its success over the past three decades.
He drew a striking parallel between the game of golf and MTN Ghana’s three-decade journey, describing both as long games in which success depends less on one spectacular moment than on consistency, patience, judgment and the ability to recover from setbacks.
He said, golf had taught him a lesson that extended far beyond the fairways, thus, a round cannot be won on the first hole.
In golfing terms, he said, MTN Ghana had encountered its share of regulatory bunkers, competitive hazards and unexpected storms that had forced the company to pause, reassess and change its approach.
But those challenges, he suggested, were part of the journey rather than reasons to abandon it.
