UPC has asked the government through her ministry of works and transport to restore the system of public works development camps along highways to detect damages and maintain roads in good shapes.
This call to action was sounded by the party spokesperson Sharon Arach Oyat who was addressing journalists at their headquarters Uganda house Kampala on Wednesday.
“We need to decongest our roads by building more fly overs in the cities and widening our highways and effectively restoring railway and air transport among others. This is how a real good future can be secured!” She suggested
The remarks follow the incidents between Dec 23 and 7th January, 2023 where more than 120 people have died and scores have sustained serious injuries due to road accidents across the country.
Arach proposes for the establishment of Rapid Rescue Team well trained and equipped with modern facilities to facilitate real time response to victims of accidents.
On the other hand, UPC has asked commended Nkozi hospital in Masaka for constructing a special wing for giving first aid treatment to the victims of accidents before they are evacuated to Kampala and other nearby regional referrals for further treatments.
