This was announced yesterday while Police, Southern Province officials, drivers and road users were launching the campaign to promote road safety in the province.
Southern Province Governor, Marie Rose Mureshyankwano urged road users on vigilance to avoid any loss of life due to accidents.
“In last four months, our province recorded a total of 250 accidents which left 50 people dead, which is a big number. This campaign is crucial as it encourages road users and drivers to avoid road accidents,” she said.
“We request drivers to abide by traffic rules and be vigilant and foresight while driving,” she requested.
The campaign to promote road safety is part of Rwanda National Police’s (RNP) yearly activities dubbed ‘Campaign Week’.
This year’s Police week was launched on May 15th under which different human development activities like facilitating vulnerable families are conducted.
This year’s activities will focus on promotion of ‘crime free village’ by constructing offices to one outstanding village in crime prevention across all districts.
