Parliament Summons Transport Minister Over Upsurge In Fatal Road Accidents

Parliament has summoned Transport and Infrastructural Development Minister Felix Mhona to explain the upsurge in road traffic accidents across the country, reported NewsDay.

Minister Mhona is also expected to to explain why proper procedures were not followed in handling the deceased’s remains, in the case of the Bulawayo-Beitbridge Highway accident which claimed 22 lives.

This development comes after more than 30 people were killed in just three road traffic accidents in recent days.

On Monday last week, six people were killed in a road accident in Mwenezi, and three others in Chipinge in similar circumstances.

Barely 24 hours later, 22 people were killed when a South Africa-bound Toyota Quantum minibus crashed head-on against a truck.

Raising the issue as a point of national interest in the National Assembly, Mberengwa West legislator Tafanana Zhou (ZANU PF) called on Mhona to issue a ministerial statement outlining the government’s plans to curb road traffic accidents. Said Zhou:

Mr Speaker Sir, road accidents are prevalent, and since we are approaching the festive season, I propose that we get a ministerial statement regarding what the government plans to do in order to curb road carnage during the festive season.
I also want to say that when an accident occurs, respect for the dead people should be observed by putting their remains in a body bag.
Therefore, I am requesting the minister to bring in a ministerial statement explaining why the deceased’s remains are not being put in a body bag.

The Speaker of the National Assembly Jacob Mudenda requested the ZANU PF chief whip to take up the issue with Minister Mhona for the statement to be ready by 28 November.

You can try everything but road accidents can't be stopped, even in developed countries, accidents do happen no matter what, worse in our scenario there is no one to care for our roads , they are only talked about during elections.

That is Kazembe Kazembe's baby. Mhona cannot answer about body bags coz its the Police who attend road accidents and enforce traffic laws. Mhonha can talk about state of the roads

The Minister is also just like any of us,The Police must answer their part yekushaya ma body bags. On occurance of accidents Mr Mhona can not do anything about that for sure.Njiri driving yatirikuita muma roads ndiyo irikukonzeresa tsaona everywhere.Atittude inevamwe vedu so paroad leaves a lot to be desired,Njiri driving yega yega yatirikuona over and over again.

🐃 We have hypocrites here. Pindula don't remove any comments, just leave them akadaro becoz people need to see the truth. The truth helps people not to become ignorant about the reality out there and the youths we have of this generation. Vabereki and grannies ngavazive zviri kunyorwa nevana and vazukuru vavo. Right now on WhatsApp and FB and Insta, teenagers put explicit pictures. Whose on App there are groups of Porñography ane High school kids. Mukada zvekuvanza zvinhu muchachema mangwana. Porñography iri kuwonekwa muma phone and zvinhu zvacho zvinotaurwa by these teenagers munochema imi. Leave all the bad comments alone and see the reality out there.

I agree with you. Pindula takes time to remove disturbing comments.

Waste of time. They should call ZRP who are running the buses, taxi mushikashika that are causing the accidents. They are the wild ones on the road that are creating the jungle.
