Fix faulty seats in ‘trotro’
A faulty seat
Dear Editor,
The state of seats in our ‘trotros’ is something that must get the attention of all patrons.
Some of the seats are in a really bad shape yet nothing is being done about them. I sometimes wonder whether the drivers and their mates are aware of such seats. They are very much aware but would not make any move to repair them.
The faulty seats causes damages to passengers by sustaining cuts or leaving their clothes torn. Sometimes, passengers get to their destinations and realise their clothes have become dirty. When these driver’s mates are confronted, they pretend not to have noticed that the seat was faulty.
It appears no one cares about users of such public transports meanwhile some of these welfare issues also comes under the purview of the Ghana Private Road Transports Union (GPRTU) but the only time we hear about it is when petrol prices go up.
They must be up-and-doing in this to ensure passengers comfort in the public vehicles.
Emmanualla Eshun,
Asamankese.

Provide adequate security for Christmas
Christmas is four days away and Ghanaians are preparing feverishly for the grand occasion.
It is a momentous occasion on the calendar of Christians. It marks the commemoration of the birth of Jesus Christ.
After the various church services to mark it, the whole atmosphere turns into one for merrymaking while people also share gifts to friends and family members.
Interestingly, the same period witnesses a surge in criminal activities as cases of armed robbery, phone snatching and other negative vices happen.
That is the reason why I want to appeal to the security agencies to be watchful within the period.
The Police, especially is already stretched as a result of the recent elections held and preparation for the January 7 swearing in ceremony to follow but that should not leave criminals with a field day.
Just as the service intensify patrols within the period, I wish to appeal for a repetition of the exercise to curb crime in the society.
Residents can also help in this regard by providing information on the activities of strange characters in our various vicinities.
With these in place, one can be sure that the celebration would be peaceful and enjoyable, devoid of troubles

Don’t prophesy to cause fear and panic
Dear Editor,
Curtains on the year 2024, is gradually drawing to close, with many, achieving their dreams while others hope for a better 2025.
Amidst this, churches have planned their watch night services with various themes for the night hoping to give Christians and Ghanaians at large a chance to enter the New Year with optimism.
At the service, there will prophecies or predictions for the coming year, with some causing fear and panic among the populace.
In the year 2021, the Ghana Police Service banned prophecies during 31st night services, also known as watch night services.
Such prophecies, according to the police has caused fear and panic among targeted persons
It seems churches and their leaders have forgotten about this ban, I wish to call in the police to remind the churches to enforce the ban which were mostly about the death of prominent persons in the society.
I believe this will again bring sanity into the Christianity and the society at whole
