The Ghanaian Times calls for a smooth take off in the new lorry fares devoid of confrontation, for peace and tranquility on commercial vehicles. Such confrontations, according to the Times engender emotions and passions that could lead to road crashes. The Times appeals to stakeholders in the Transport industry to manage the increases so that it does not bring unnecessary confrontation among the travelling public. The Paper equally appeals to Government to consider waiving taxes and other import duties on some vehicle parts that are used for pro-poor commercial purposes as a kind of social protection for the travelling public, especially workers who heavily patronise the services of ''trotro'' because of unreliable or inefficient public transport systems in the Country. 

The Daily Graphic wishes this year's BECE candidates the best in their examination while encouraging them to put the challenges staring in their face behind them by using the little time left at their disposal to successfully pass the examination. To the Graphic, the outcome of the examination will go a long way to shape the future of the candidates. The Paper admonishes the candidates to eschew all forms of examination malpractices which can affect their future. The Graphic is happy about reports that, generally the  examination began smoothly. It however, expresses worry about late arrivals of materials at some centres, while other centres registered absenteeism. The Graphic urges the Ministry of Education and other stakeholders to address challenges such as centres being too far away from homes of candidates and the difficulty in tracing centres, as these affect the performance of pupils. It wants the Ministry to also address the situation where candidates will have to complete the selection of schools after the examinations.
