Deputy Minister-Designate for Transport, Dorcas Affo-Toffey, has pledged to support initiatives aimed at reducing road accidents across the country if approved for the role.
Appearing before Parliament’s Appointments Committee on Friday, July 25, Ms. Affo-Toffey outlined a series of strategies she intends to pursue in collaboration with the substantive Minister.
She emphasised the importance of public education, a robust emergency response system, improved road signage, and the use of technology to monitor speeding.
Madam Affo-Toffey further stressed the need to enforce existing traffic laws and strengthen them where necessary to ensure road safety.
“When I’m given the nod, I will assist my Minister to make sure that we put in place measures that will curb accidents. For instance, by educating the general public and also making sure that we have an effective emergency response system, putting up a clear signage system, and putting in place cameras to detect speed limits.
“Most importantly, making sure that we enforce the existing laws and regulations, and make sure we strengthen them to curb accidents on our roads,” She said.
