Meanwhile, Kadaga puts all the blame for the above deaths to Ministry of Transport for failure to implement road transport laws.
She says that since most of these accidents happen at night, they could have been avoided if Ministry had implemented usage of reflectors on heavy trucks and lorries for better visibility.
