Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>Government has ordered bus owners to install speed monitoring equipment in their vehicles by March, 2023 to track down speeding buses as way of reducing road accidents.<\/p>\n

Minister of Transport and Public Works Jacob Hara said this on Tuesday at Mzuzu Hospital where he visited Marymount Secondary School students who were involved in a road accident in Mzimba.<\/p>\n

He said the bus owners have been told to install GPS trackers in their buses in a bid to ensure that drivers adhere to speed limits. The Minister said the government will have a control room at the ministry of Transport and Public Works to monitor the buses through the GPS.<\/p>\n

He also said the ministry intends to start reviewing issuance of licenses for bus drivers to contain road accidents that involve passenger vehicles including big buses.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile principal nursing officer for Mzuzu central hospital Doreen Nyasulu said the patient they have received as a referral from Mzimba, Deodata Kanjoma, 16, is responding well to treatment.<\/p>\n
