  -  as the ban of imported vehicles get on It is important to note that the Ghana Automotive Manufacturing Development Programme (GAMDP) developed in August 2019 has come out with measures aimed at promoting locally manufactured cars for the local market and West African sub-region. A new law banning the importation of vehicles more than 10-years old was passed on March 3, 2020 to strengthen the programme.

Indeed, over 70 percent of passenger vehicles imported into the country are often found to be from five to twelve-years old. The automobile sector has been a driver of growth for the country, as it is one of the most visible sectors to receive foreign investment. President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo recently announced that a new policy has been developed, explaining that the operations of automobile vehicle investors in the country calls for a clear-cut policy to govern the automotive...

This requires a selfless front-runner who can assemble experts towards the overall agenda of entities.

Having launched the first-ever Health...

Michael Kofi Andoh, Deputy Commissioner-National Insurance Commission, has advised the general public on things to watch out for in respect of their Motor Insurance policies. The Deputy Commissioner pointed out these things at the launch of Star Assurance Total Troxy Club collaboration which took place in Accra a fortnight ago. He pointed out five items which include change of ownership, saying if you buy a vehicle from somebody else you cannot use that person’s insurance cover; you need to buy your own cover. He advised that you shouldn’t use an unlicenced driver to drive your car; and more importantly, the driver should use the right licence category to drive. He also pointed out that a change of use for cars should be avoided - indicating that if the car is a non-commercial vehicle, one cannot use it for commercial purposes.
