In a statement issued in Accra, the group alleged that the union has failed to renew its registration with the Registrar General’s Department since it expired in 2021.

The group also claimed that checks indicate the union has not been filing its tax returns with the Ghana Revenue Authority since its registration in 2019.

“These alleged irregularities raise serious concerns about the legitimacy of the union’s operations,” the statement said.

The group further questioned the union’s recent announcement of a proposed 15 percent reduction in vehicle prices, describing it as unrealistic and potentially misleading.

Michael Boateng, convenor of the Concerned Media Practitioners, called on the appropriate authorities to take immediate action to address the matter.

In a statement dated February 19, 2026, and signed by its convener, Michael Boateng (Mike2), the group said that although it welcomed any price reduction, ADUG failed to provide details of previous and current prices to justify the announced 15 per cent cut.

The group argued that without listing the old and new prices of specific vehicles and the exact calculations involved, consumers could not verify the claimed reduction.

Citing examples of commonly used vehicles such as the Toyota Voxy (2010–2013) and Toyota Vitz (2009–2010), which they claim sell for about GH¢150,000–160,000 and GH¢90,000 respectively, the group questioned whether the 15 per cent reduction had been properly applied.

They further alleged that the announcement appears politically motivated and accused the union of attempting to mislead consumers with what they described as empty promises.

The group emphasised that its intervention is not borne out of malice but is aimed at promoting consumer protection and accountability.
