Managing News Editor Elvis Darko from Newscenta went off on Channel One TV about Parliament greenlighting commercial motorcycle operations, saying the government should fix buses and trains instead of throwing more bikes onto the roads. The guy pointed out that National Road Safety Authority reports show motorcycles already cause the worst carnage, with over 1,000 deaths between January and October out of roughly 2,400 total traffic fatalities.
Parliament pushed through the Okada Bill, which sets up safety rules like mandatory helmets and protective equipment for riders once the president signs off. Darko argued that motorcycles keep racking up the highest death rates, even though buses and cars move way more people around, and he thinks the country keeps creating more disabled citizens by expanding bike use rather than investing in actual public transit infrastructure.
