Delta
Speaker warns traffic officers
The Speaker, Delta State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon
Monday Igbuya on Thursday recaptured the trauma he had to go through in major
roads in Asaba and Warri, urging officers of the Delta State Traffic Management
Authority (DESTMA) to restore sanity and ensure the free flow of traffic on
Delta roads at all times.
He also urged DESTMA officials not to engage in
illicit and compromising activities.
Igbuya said drastic measures would be applied to any
DESTMA officer found to be engaged in corruption.
The Speaker gave the warning in Asaba while
responding to the speech of the Delta State Commissioner for Transport, Mr.
Vincent Uduaghan, who led officers of his ministry on a courtesy call on the
Speaker in his office.
He said indiscipline and corruption were responsible
for the poor performance of some police and Federal Road Safety Corps officers
in the country.
“The law establishing DESTMA was a product of the 5th
Assembly. DESTMA was put in place to
complement the Vehicle Inspection Officers (VIO) and the Federal Road Safety
Corps (FRSC) as it affects safety on our roads”.
Specifically, Igbuya said DESTMA was not established
only to generate revenue.
“It is to inculcate discipline, safety consciousness
and to checkmate the excesses of road users, particularly motorists”.
He urged DESTMA officials not to worry about the
prospect of their career.
‘One of you can be head of the organization in
future. The sky is your limit. You must be good ambassadors. There should be no
special preference in the course of carrying out your duties. The law must be
applied to all, irrespective of status. Do not compromise your uniform” he
said.
“You must show
good examples” he said.
