Minister within the Ministry of Public Infrastructure (MPI) Annette Ferguson has called on commuters to speak out against errant minibus drivers.
“They [minibus drivers] do not observe the rules of the road, they continue to double up the minibuses, they continue to double up the minibuses, they continue [to] triple up the minibuses. These are things that I observe on a daily basis when using the road, and we have users of these transportation services that they do not speak out, they remain silent,” Minister Ferguson was quoted as saying, in a Department of Public Information (DPI) press release.
The minister, who was speaking yesterday at a Road Safety Education awareness village hosted at the Stabroek Market Square, according to the DPI press release, opined that remaining silent has contributed to the many road fatalities and the government cannot afford to lose valuable human resources because of the negligence of others.
