Lack funding may make it more difficult for the National Road Safety Authority to increase road safety education in the Bono Region.
Despite taking part in the internationally recognized Road Safety Week, the Authority is having significant financial difficulties meeting its full duties.
Inadequate funding is restricting their capacity to inform the public and drivers about road safety precautions, according to Mr. Gabriel Kwame Okyere, Bono Regional Public Relations Officer.
Mr. Okyere said that the NRSA was unable to prepare a regional float with students and other stakeholders in Berekum in an interview with Kaakyire Kwasi Afari on Ark News.
Financial difficulties at the National Road Safety Authority in the Bono Region were the cause of this, he said.
However, Gabriel Kwame Okyere said that public education initiatives have been conducted with drivers at selected car stations within the region.
The regional PRO told Ark News that in the coming days, the National Road Safety Authority in the Bono Region will visit public gathering spaces, including churches, mosques, car stations, and markets, to promote road safety awareness.
Gabriel Kwame Okyere, the Bono Regional Road Safety Authority, emphasized that ensuring road safety is a shared responsibility and urged the public to support the fight against road carnage.
He expressed concern over the 37.4% increase in road accidents in the Bono Region.
He encourages passengers to speak out against reckless driving to disallow drivers to endanger their lives and that of other road users while urging drivers to respect road safety regulations.
The regional PRO advises drivers to respect road safety regulations.
