Gerayo Amahoro: DIGP Namuhoranye urges owners of travel agencies to take charge
The Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIGP) in charge of Operations, Felix Namuhoranye challenged owners of public travel agencies to get involved in the management of their drivers to prevent fatalities on road, which largely result from the behaviours of drivers.
DIGP Namuhoranye made the call on Thursday while opening the one-day training on road safety for owners and managers of local travel agencies, at the Rwanda National Police (RNP) General Headquarters in Kacyiru.
The Deputy Police Chief said that the government has invested much in the prevention of road accidents but owners and senior managers of transport companies should feel the primary duty to take safety precautions.
“We are increasing mechanical inspection centers from one to four in different parts of the country, and they will start operating soon; we are installing CCTV cameras and enforcement of speed governors, but without your ownership and partnership, all this will not have the desired impact. Drivers have many ways to cheat or bypass systems, and these are behaviours that put lives of people at risk, which we should fight together," DIGP Namuhoranye said. Read more
