    "content": "However, we should not react all the time when there is an accident and lives are lost. There are various initiatives, including the Intelligent Transport System (ITS). There is so much, given the day and age in technology, that we can employ for drivers to manage vehicles on the road. We are coming up with a digital driving license with certain features to do instant fines and manage drivers. We are setting up junction cameras through ITS. There is so much we can do to address that. For this particular case of Nyansiongo, I will address that. For most blackspots, we need climbing lanes. Sometimes with the speed and narrow sections at some blackspots, when vehicles veer from the road because of the weight and so on and so forth, they get out of the road, sometimes ending up in a market or where people trade, causing untold suffering and deaths. Therefore, for that particular case, I will pay attention to it. I wish to say that we are doing a lot and I will be paying attention to what the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) needs to do. That is a whole authority set to address the safety on our roads. I agree that we need to do more. For the case of Nyansiongo Market and the concern of bumps and a climbing lane that Mheshimiwa talked about, let me pay attention to that. I thank you."
