Former Minister of Roads and Highways, Francis Asenso-Boakye has backed the setting up of a Committee to investigate the operations of the Axle Load Control Programme to enhance its efficiency and effectiveness.
The five-member committee is expected to identify systemic and operational issues that require reform, investigate violations of regulatory provisions as well as assess the management of collected fines and propose recommendations to improve the programme.
Francis Asenso-Boakye who made similar attempts during his tenure as Minister says he failed in his bid but is ready to support any such establishment.
“As you know, I have been there before, and I know there are a lot of problems associated with it. So it is in the right direction that is being investigated.
“I encountered a lot of problems with that, but as you know, my period at the ministry was an extraordinary one.
“If in a race, you call it the home stretch. So one could not pay a lot of attention to that, even though I had done some investigation.”
