Abraham Amaliba, Acting Director-General of the National Road Safety Authority (NRSA)
Abraham Amaliba, Acting Director-General of the National Road Safety Authority (NRSA), has declared his readiness to tackle indiscipline on the road by enforcing traffic regulations and laws to curb road carnage.
His call comes on the back of a tragic hit-and-run incident on the Achimota Highway, on March 9, 2025, which claimed the lives of two former Achimota School students.
Speaking to the incident on Citi Breakfast Show on Monday, March 10, Amaliba expressed worry over the wanton disregard for road traffic regulations and laws by pedestrians and drivers.
He cited driver and pedestrian indiscipline as the two main causes of road accidents and assured that his outfit will institute measures to clamp down on offenders of traffic rules.
“When I took over the NRSA, I realised there were two main causes of road crashes; driver and pedestrian indiscipline, and so if we are able to curb these two, we will make a lot of headway,” he said.
In line with safety on roads, Amaliba signaled to the public that his outfit will collaborate with the media to fight this canker.
“There will be some sanity on our roads in the coming days. Very soon, we will partner with the media and run a promo using a prominent Ghanaian to campaign on discipline,” he said.
Abraham Amaliba also indicated that NRSA plans to initiate nationwide public awareness campaign to promote discipline and responsible road use.
