Kumchacha blasts drivers for cheating passengers during rush hours: ‘You’ll reap what you sow’

Ghanaian preacher, Prophet Nicholas Osei, popularly known as Kumchacha, has called out commercial “trotro” drivers over what he described as manipulative and exploitative fare practices, especially during high-demand periods.

Speaking during an appearance on Neat FM, a visibly upset Kumchacha condemned the tendency of some drivers to ignore officially approved transport fares by the Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU).

He pointed out that in cities like Accra, especially during rainfall or traffic congestion, drivers often hike fares arbitrarily, taking advantage of desperate commuters.

In life, what you sow is what you reap

Kumchacha stated, warning that these unethical practices would eventually come back to haunt the drivers.

He criticised their habit of picking up and dropping off passengers midway not to aid them but to maximise profits by filling the vehicle multiple times for short distances.

According to him, this leads to unnecessary stress and financial burdens on already struggling passengers.

After cheating people this way

Kumchacha continued,

they end up using all that money to solve unexpected problems. That’s the result of unfair gains.
