Motorcycle supervisors completed a two day seminar on 17th February that focused on helping motorcyclists in their daily activities with regard to the road safety.
Motorcycles are a popular means of public transport in Rwanda today and are highly involved in most road accidents which have resulted into fatal deaths and injuries.
The Assistant Commissioner of Police, Emmanuel Butera requested the newly trained supervisors to be observers, monitors and facilitators for motorcyclists in their work.
Butera also told motorcyclists to avoid violating traffic laws which leads to frequent roads accident deaths.
He said, “You have to be careful while riding in order to avoid frequent road accidents most of the time leading to deaths”. He added that supervisors are not to ask them bribes, harass or take away motor bicycles but to ensure proper Motorcycle taxi transport operations on the road.
Vestine Mukeshimana, Director of good governance in Kigali city council told motor cyclists that the city needs their collaboration in contribution towards security.
“You have to prevent crimes before they happen and work for social economic development of the public by contributing to the full security of the city.”
The Supervisors are supposed to work at the new 65 parking grounds established for motor cycle Taxis.
