A lack of good governance is the prime reason behind the rise of causalities caused by road accident across the country, says Gano Forum chief Dr Kamal Hossain.
“It’s necessary to ensure impartial and effective enforcement of laws to ensure good governance [in transport sector].” He told a media briefing on Saturday (Mar 23).
Dr Kamal, also the convener of Jatiya Oikkya Front, said police must enforce laws so that the goal for which these are framed can be achieved.
But if the police are influenced by anybody then they become weaker, and deviate from the rule of law, he added.
The Gano Forum chief also demanded that steps be taken to free the transport sector from political influence and laws be properly to restore disciple in the sector.
“Political influence not only helps corruption spread but also make people indifferent to obey law which ultimately hampers the rule of law. This is applicable for all sectors, including the transport one,” said Dr Kamal.
