Member
of
Parliament
for
Bawku
Central,
Mahama
Ayariga
has
said
that
the
political
class
has
failed
to
provide
better
roads
infrastructure
and
efficient
public
transport
system
to
the
citizenry
and
should
not
be
exempted
from
joining
the
vehicular
traffic
in
town.
The
legislator
who
was
reacting
to
the
Road
Traffic
Amendment
Legislative
Instrument
(L.I)
which
has
been
withdrawn
from
Parliament,
said
he
sympathises
with
the
general
public
and
the
anger
that
has
been
expressed
in
response
to
the
L.I.
that
was
laid
before
the
House.
He
says
the
political
class
is
supposed
to
provide
a
good
transport
system
and
has
failed
and
cannot
exempt
themselves
from
it.
“Those
of
us
in
the
political
class,
ministers,
deputy
ministers,
government
officials,
we
are
responsible
for
delivering
to
the
public
an
effective
and
an
efficient
public
transport
system.
We
have
woefully
failed
in
our
responsibility
to
do
that
and
there
is
huge
traffic
in
town,’’
he
explained.
He
stressed
the
need
for
the
political
class
to
go
through
the
suffering
that
the
taxpayers
are
going
through.
“People
are
spending
their
meagre
salaries
on
fuel
and
diesel
to
transport
themselves,
and
instead
of
us
concentrating
on
solving
that
problem
for
the
public,
we
are
seeking
to
exempt
ourselves
from
this
suffering
that
members
of
the
public
who
are
the
taxpayers
on
whose
back
we
are
all
being
paid,
we
are
seeking
to
exempt
ourselves
from
that
suffering,’’
he
queried.
“Let
us
all
join
the
traffic,
if
it
is
difficult
then
let’s
go
and
fix
the
problem,”
the
Bawku
Central
MP
said.
