Do officers of the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) subscribe to the principle; 'if you cannot beat them join them'? I ask because even though NTSA is charged with the task of ensuring our roads become safe, its own statistics confirm it has failed.
In the first 30 days of 2017, at least 109 pedestrians lost their lives compared to 103 in the same period last year. The statistics show 164 people sustained serious injuries compared to 147 in the same period the previous year. NTSA officers work alongside the country's reigning corruption champions and all indications are, they have been co-opted into the practice.
