The Abossey Okai Spare Parts Dealers Association has vehemently denied the claims made by the Alliance of Drivers Ghana regarding the increase in lorry fares due to rising spare parts prices. The Chairman of the association, Mr. Henry Okyere Jnr, and President of the Ghana Auto Parts Dealers Association, released a press statement refuting the allegations as false and misleading.
Mr. Okyere Jnr emphasized that there has been no price increase in spare parts that would justify the proposed fare hike. He pointed out that import duties and market conditions have remained stable, and essential vehicle components like engine oil and filters have not experienced any changes in stock levels.
The association reassured the public that the government is committed to supporting the spare parts industry, ensuring pricing stability and supply continuity. They urged the Alliance of Drivers Ghana to base any fare adjustments on factual economic indicators rather than unfounded claims.
Furthermore, the association called on transport unions and regulators to engage in transparent discussions when considering fare adjustments to ensure fairness for both transport operators and the public. They encouraged transport users to disregard any links between spare parts costs and fare hikes, underscoring their commitment to honesty and transparency in industry matters.
