The Alliance for Change (AFC) is calling for measures to be put in place to avoid major road fatalities like the recent one that claimed ten lives in Linden.
In a press release, the AFC expressed its sympathy to the families of those who lost their loved ones in the accident at Amelia’s Ward and also empathized with the victims of the Laing Avenue fire.
The AFC, the release stated, finds it totally unacceptable that these types of accidents are allowed to continue.
According to the party, the Ministry of Health should intervene since the seriousness of the accidents is a public health issue.
The release also stated that there have been numerous suggestions made by road users and victim rights advocates such as the Alicea Foundation and other organisations but nothing has been done. They are calling for a change in this regard.
