    "content": "THAT, aware that the National Transport and Safety Authority Act 2012 provides for establishment of the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA); further aware that the Authority, in line with Section 4 of the Act, plays a critical role in ensuring the provision of safe, reliable and efficient road transport services; concerned that there has been an alarming surge in road accidents in the recent past resulting in loss of life, injuries and damage to properties; further concerned that the Authority has not effectively and fully performed its functions of regulating safe and reliable transport service, especially in dealing with public service vehicles; noting that poor maintenance of motor vehicles and a lack of proper regulation are leading contributors to the marked increase in road accidents; deeply concerned that school-going children are increasingly becoming victims of those road accidents; recognising that it is the responsibility of the Authority to ensure adherence to road traffic rules, and to establish systems and procedures for, and oversee the training, testing and licensing of drivers; now therefore, this House resolves that the Government, through the Ministry of Roads and Transport, undertakes a comprehensive overhaul of the transportation sector to provide for proper regulation of the sector and ensure strict operationalisation of the traffic regulations to provide a safer and more reliable transport sector."
