This comes after several accident-related deaths were recorded in recent weeks.
The Public Safety Bureau has revealed that around 66% of accident-related deaths in Ghana stem from road accidents.
This comes after several accident-related deaths were recorded across the country in recent weeks.
According to the Executive Secretary of the Office, Nana Yaw Akwada, “Our findings indicate that 66 percent of accidental deaths in the country come from traffic accidents. This is something that people have suggested is a national security issue. “
By recommending a series of actions to curb traffic accidents, Yaw Akwada proposed the introduction of refresher courses to educate drivers in the country.
“If we have to address these traffic accident-related deaths, we don’t have to consider dualization and far-reaching things. The refresher course for all drivers must go into effect, ”he said in an interview on Citi TV’s Point of View segment on Wednesday, September 23, 2020.
Meanwhile, Ghana has seen a series of bloody road accidents in recent weeks, most of which involved about six members of a football academy in Offinso, in the Ashanti region.
The group lost their lives after a KIA Pregio vehicle they were traveling in ran off the road and fell into the River Offin.
In the Eastern Region, four other lives were also lost after a head-on collision occurred on the Somanya Highway in Yilo Krobo Municipality.
