K’ba II DO imports mercenary bike riders to curb ghost town

By Johnson Batuo

Against the backdrop of ghost town religiously being observed in Kumba every Monday and on other days announced by the Anglophone consortium, the Kumba II administration has hatched a plan to import bike riders from the West Region to beef up circulation of passengers and their goods during ghost towns, The Median was informed.

                Most of the commercial Moto-bikes (Okadas) circulating in Kumba are owned by residents of Kumba II, most of whom originate from the West Region.

                               We have gathered that with ghost town being respected every Monday in Kumba, the Kumba II DO, who is from the West region is mooting plans to hire commercial motocycle riders from his region of origin to come ply in Kumba every Monday to mitigate the effect of the ghost towns on the population by transporting passengers and their goods from one part of the town to the other. 

                               It is not the first time the DO of Kumba II has tried to mitigate the effect of the ghost town on the Kumba population.

                It is widely believed that most of the okadas that ply the streets of Kumba during ghost town days are those protected by the DO.

                It is believed that this move by the Kumba II DO is highly applauded by the Dos of the other subdivisions in Kumba, who are also contemplating strategies to curb ghost towns in their areas of command.
