A survey carried in Tema station, one of the busiest lorry stations in Accra, shows that the only way of survival for Kofi, Sethtiford, Sarpong and Kelvin is charging of mobile phones.

Speaking to them off camera, they said they make about 10 to 15 Ghana cedi a day and they are paid at the end of the month.

These phones which belongs to the individual both passengers and vendors in the market are indicated and identified by number tags which makes it easier for identification and collection. They added that, they pay an amount of Seven (7) Ghana cedi each every two weeks.

But Kelvin, who just entered the business barely two weeks ago is making about two to three Ghana cedi a day and hopes he will start making much sales as his other colleague.
