ASP Okonengye said they have introduced a programme that seeks to reduce \u00a0road accidents this time around.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis programme is all about ensuring that within the Christmas festivities, we wouldn\u2019t have any unforeseen disasters, crashes in our catchment area,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
As part of this, he said they would be collaborating effectively with other stakeholders to sensitize and remind drivers of\u00a0road safety regulations.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe decided with our partners and our colleagues in the road safety fraternity, to make sure that we carry out an education and sensitization programme that will actually remind our drivers of the various safety regulations on the road in case they have forgotten about them to ensure safety on our highway within this period.\u201d<\/p>\n
ASP Okonengye is confident that\u00a0a successful implementation of the exercise would mean that it can be deployed in future.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf there is actually a reduction, this will actually let us know that such exercises will be of good use to us in the future,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n
