Public service workers and staff of essential service providers such as health and education are not affected by the ban on the use of motor bikes in the Bawku municipality. That’s according to the Upper East regional Minister, Mark Woyongo who tells Joy News a social communications center will be set up to take care of emergency situations. The ban was imposed by the municipal Security Council following a sharp upsurge in hostilities in the Bawku town. Already the town is under a 4pm to 6am curfew. Mr Woyongo says the ban is indefinite.
Residents say the ban on the use of motorbikes is a non starter. They tell Joy news it will rather worsen the economic situation in the area.
MP for Pusiga, Simon whose constituency is closely, believes the security agencies would be wasting their time trying to enforce the ban on the use of motorbikes instead of apprehending perpetrators of the violent acts.
