On Thursday, April 16, 2026, the Deputy Transport Minister, Dorcas Affo-Toffey inspected the 100 new Isuzu buses procured from Egypt to ease transport challenges in the country.
They are expected to be released to Metro Mass Transit Limited (MMTL) to improve its fleet reliability.
Madam Affo-Toffey was accompanied by the Managing Director of MMTL, Kale Cesar Esq.; his deputy in charge of operations and technical, Haroun Apaw-Wiredu; staff of MMT; and the Ministry of Transport.
The 29-seater buses form part of a planned fleet of 300 vehicles expected to boost capacity, reduce congestion, and improve reliability within the public transport system.
The full supply is 300 buses, but they would come in trenches of 100s till August 2026 when the final trench will arrive in Ghana.
Speaking to the management of MAC Ghana and the vendors of the buses in Egypt, the Deputy Transport Minister expressed gratitude to the people of Ghana for their patience with the government during the transport crisis; his minister, Joseph Bukari Nikpe, for his support and initiative to ensure the buses arrive; and the President, John Mahama, for having the courage to retool the MMTL.
Madam Affo-Toffey said some people did not believe it because they thought it was one of those talks.
The Deputy Minister, who is also the Member of Parliament for Jomoro Constituency in the Western Region, explained that apart from the 100, the remaining 200 will also come in trenches of two, July and August.
Madam Affo-Toffey assured that very soon, we will deploy the 100 buses to the various places to reduce the congestion.
