President Mahama Clarifies Bus Preaching Directive: Allowed When Parked, Prohibited While Moving

According to an official executive release published by Graphic Online, President John Dramani Mahama clarified state regulations regarding religious evangelism inside public commercial transport. Addressing public debates during his working tour, the President specified that itinerant preachers are fully permitted to share religious sermons inside buses while vehicles are parked at terminals or lorry stations, but preaching is strictly prohibited while buses are in transit.

Transport policy experts, legal analysts, and driver union coordinators explained that prohibiting transit preaching safeguards commuter safety, prevents driver distraction, and reduces noise pollution on highways. President Mahama highlighted that the government respects religious expression while prioritizing public transit safety and commuter comfort during long-distance road trips.

Commuter associations, religious leaders, and commercial driver unions welcomed the executive clarification, noting that clear operational guidelines prevent unnecessary friction between law enforcement and local evangelists. Transport unions confirmed that notices reflecting the directive will be posted across major lorry parks nationwide.
