Former President Jerry John Rawlings
Former President Jerry John Rawlings lamented the lives lost in two accidents on Friday in Central and Bono East.
The first at Ampomakrom, near Techiman, at dawn killed at least 50 people, while that of Ekumfi-Dunkwa left eight lives.
In a statement of mourning with bereaved families, Mr. Rawlings said, "Too many lives are lost on our roads because of indiscipline and carelessness."
He has therefore been in charge of the Ghana Police Traffic and Transport Department, the Vehicle Licensing and Registration Authority, the Ghana Private Road Transport Union, the National Road Transport Commission, road safety and allied agencies "safer".
He stressed that "these deaths are preventable".
For him, as long as drivers continue to defend themselves, the carnage on the road "will continue to serve as a cover for manslaughter".
