Ghana Enforces Ban on Bus Preaching and Hawking with Prison or Fines

Ghana's Road Traffic Regulations, 2026, ban preaching and selling goods inside moving public vehicles, with penalties up to eight months in prison or a $52 fine. The rules aim to reduce distractions for safer roads, applying to all faiths without halting religious expression elsewhere.

In this majority Christian nation, where bus sermons were common, reactions range from support for calmer trips to concerns over limiting everyday evangelism. Kenyan users drew parallels to their matatus, where similar activities thrive.
