The statement said: “In line with government’s efforts to remove the hazard of broken down/disabled vehicles on our roads, the Ministry of Transport invites all companies engaged in towing services to a meeting as follows: Thursday 7th September, 2017. Time: 3pm. Venue: Office of the Senior Minister.”
The government appeared to have listened to the cry of the people when it decided to halt the plan to charge motorists a compulsory levy for towing services.
The government said it will now limit itself to licensing and regulating towing service providers.
But, it will examine new modalities for dealing with the problem of broken down vehicles.
