The Ghana Railway Company Limited in a press release has been observed that some irresponsible persons (thieves) have been stealing rail lines (Tracks) and steel sleepers belonging to this Company across the country.
The unfortunate behaviour of these miscreants has gone a long way in thwarting the efforts of the Government of Ghana in revamping the railway sector in the country.
The Management of GRCL will therefore wish to warn all those involved in the stealing of rails, steel sleepers and other Railway materials to desist from such irresponsible act as they will severely be dealt with by the law enforcement agencies when caught.
GRCL further reiterates that the railway line is a national asset and it is, therefore, an offence for any unauthorized persons to remove any railway material from railway premises without authorization,
However, they are informing the General public to report any individual who is caught stealing or in possession of any piece of railway line, steel sleeper ‘or materials either to the company’s Chief Security Superintendent; Marine, Ports & Railways Police or the nearest police station,
The Management of GRCL further appeals to the media and the general public to assist Ghana Railway Company Limited to perform its core function by providing effective, reliable, safe passenger and freight transportation to the country by serving as a watchdog in the fight against these unpatriotic and unscrupulous persons who are bent on destroying the rail sector in this Country.
