The speaker of parliament Rebecca Kadaga says that the increasing road accidents are as a result of poor planning.

Kadaga says that many roads are narrow with pedestrians and vehicles competing for space.

She also says that many laws on road safety have not been implemented.

Kadaga made the remarks while visiting the causality ward at Mulago hospital.

Ina related development, the vice Chairperson Parliamentary Forum on road safety Geoffrey Omara says that human error continues to be the major cause of accident asking the drivers to be more careful while on the roads.

The comments come as Uganda marks the road safety week under the theme Uganda @50 with safe Road users;
