Minister for Transport, Kwaku Ofori Asiamah is expected to brief Parliament this week on what measures are being instituted to curb road accidents especially on the George Walker Bush highway and the Madina-Adentan to the Aburi stretch.
First Deputy Speaker of Parliament and Member of Parliament for Bekwai in the Ashanti region Joseph Osei-Owusu issued a two (2) week ultimatum to the Transport Minister to appear before the lawmakers and brief them on pragmatic measures outlined to curb the growing spate of accidents and knock-downs on our roads.
The Speaker’s directive comes at the back of wild lamentations by Members of Parliaments on the alarming rate of road crashes on major roads within short periods resulting in several deaths and injuries.
Member of Parliament for Ledzokuku Dr Bernard Okoe Boye in a statement last week on the floor of Parliament on road accidents demanded the prosecution of reckless drivers to deter others.
