Failure to enforce the law will lead to violent conflicts in the country

The recent spate of road carnage has created unbearable personal, family, social and national stress, a strained relationship with the leadership, and a bitter taste amongst the people. This is especially so since the worst and most of the accidents happened during family celebrations of end of year festivities.

While safety on roads should be a responsibility shared by Government agencies, drivers of public and private vehicles and the public, the brunt of blame is borne by lack of enforcement of traffic rules and regulations. Rules and regulations should be aggressively enforced, and firm, consistent punishment meted out to offenders.
