Fourteen drivers out of the 29 who were arrested on the Dawhenya-Afienya road last Saturday for in various road traffic infractions have been fined by the Tema Motor and Sanitation court.
Among the arrested persons was Deputy Managing Director of the Bulk Storage and Transport Limited (BOST), Moses Asem who failed to show up in court on Monday.
Many of the errant drivers were slapped with a fine of GhC720.00.
Some drivers who were arrested demanded to see Moses Asem also fined.
They said since they all erred, they did not see why Moses Asem would not show up to face the law.
The crackdown followed Citi FM and Citi TV’s campaign, dubbed War Against Indiscipline.
Over 100 drivers have so far been arrested and put before court for breaking traffic regulations.
They have been fined between GHc600 and GHc1000.
Moses Asem was arrested for using a siren in his V8 to beat traffic on the Dawhenya highway on Saturday.
In his defence, he told the Police he had clearance from National Security although he was unable to provide evidence to that effect.
He pleaded with the Police to let him go with the excuse that he had the donations to a funeral he was attending on him hence his use of siren to beat traffic.
Moses Asem and many of the drivers arrested were on Saturday en route to funerals.
