If the Minister achieve this goal it will cut down on lawlessness we see around the city. A lot of drivers operating mechanically propelled vehicles are on kush. Who will stop this, as a lot of our law enforcement officers are on the fix themselves.
I wish the Minister well, I hope it is not just words.
You cannot speak of road signs and leave out defective vehicles.
