The Speaker of Parliament, Rt Hon Anitah Annet Among, has cautioned motorists to exercise highest degree of alertness while on the road through the festive season.
She encouraged people to plan ahead their journeys to avoid overspending which usually leads deadly accidents on roads.
“Please don’t overspeed, if you want to reach early, please leave early, don’t overspeed because speed kills. I want to urge the public that as much as you are rushing to go to the villages, don’t over speed, speed kills, we need you alive. We are going for the festival season and I am aware that so many Ugandans are going to travel upcountry, because so many buses are going to travel, the buses are going to increase on fares. They are going to be so fast on the roads and this might cause accidents,” said Among.
Meanwhile, the Parliament is scheduled to hold the end of year party next week on Thursday and the main celebrant will be His Grace the Archbishop of Church of Uganda Samuel Stephen Kazimba Mugalu.
