“It’s the Government’s negligence through it’s MID Ministry to hear the people’s call. I think the government though that the people are just voicing their concerns for nothing over the radio, but just over the weekend a life was lost, a situation that shouldn’t happen, but due to the government’s negligence these things will happen so I strongly call on the government to quickly step in, otherwise we will experience more similar accidents to occur.”
Meanwhile, Mr. Bata also calls on vehicle owners and drivers servicing East Malaita to be highly cautious.
“I would like to call on the vehicle owners of the east road and drivers to take extra precautionary measures when driving and be very careful, and vehicle owners make sure they employ qualified drivers, not taxi drivers to drive along the east road, you would have an accident, so I am asking vehicle owners to be careful and employ experienced drivers to service the east road.”
SIBC News understands, one person has died and five others seriously injured after the vehicle they were travelling on overturned due to bad road condition over the weekend.
