MEMBERS OF THE PRESS, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. ; WHILE IT IS IMPORTANT TO ESTABLISH MEASURE FOR PREVENTION OF ROAD TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS, IT IS ALSO VERY IMPORTANT TO ESTABLISH SUSTAINABLE MECHANISM FOR ADDRESSING EFFECTS OF ROAD TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS. IT IS AKNOWN FACT THAT VICTIMS OF ROAD TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS ARE FACED WITH A LOT OF CHALLENGES SUCH AS DISABILITY, LOSS OF EMPLOYMENT AND. INCOME, DEATH, AND EVEN THE LOSS OF SUPPORT IN THE CASE OF DEPENDENTS WHO LOSE THEIR BREAD WINNERS. IT IS OF THE ABOVE REASONS THAT THE GOVERNMENT ESTABLISHED IN THE ROAD TRAFFIC ACT, A COMPULSORY THIRD MOTOR VEHICLE INSURANCE SCHEME TO TAKE CARE OF BODILY INJURY AND DEATH. “THE REALITY WE FACE TODAY HOWEVER IS THAT THE CURRENT SCHEME DOES NOT SEEM TO ADDRESS ALL THE POST-CRASH NEEDS THAT ARISE FROM ROAD TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS”.ANOTHER RELATED CHALLENGES | THE SUBJECT OF ENFORCEMENT. THE CURRENT SCENARIO, WHERE AN INDIVIDUAL HAS TO VOLUNTARILY GO TO AN INSURANCE COMPANY TO INSURE HIS OR HER VEHICLE HAS LED TO A SITUATION WHERE A NUMBER OF VEHICLES PLYING OUR ROADS ARE UN-INSURED. MOTORISTS HAVE BEEN INCLINED TO VIEW THE CURRENT SCHEME AS A FORM OF TAX THAT THEY ARE AT LIBERTY TO EVADE, RATHER THAN AS A PROTECTION AGAINST THEIR PERSONAL LIABILITY. FURTHERMORE THE GOVERNMENT IS FACED WITH THE CHALLENGE OF TAKING CARE OF THE VICTIMS OF HIT AND RUN, COMPENSATION OF EMERGENCY RESPONSE SERVICE PROVIDES, AND RELATED MEDICAL COSTS. THESE CHALLENGES CALL FOR CONSENTED EFFORTS AMONG ALL THE PLAYERS IN THE ROAD TRANSPORT SECTOR. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE EFFORTS ACHIEVED BY INSURANCE COMPANIES BY COMPENSATING VICTIMS OF THE ROAD TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS WITHIN THE CURRENT LEGAL FRAMEWORK DESERVE COMMENDATION. IT IS BEYOND IMAGINATION AS TO WHAT EXTENT THE BURDEN WOULD HAVE BEEN IF THE INSURANCE COMPANIES HAD NOT OBLIGED TO THEIR OBLIGATION. THE GENERAL CONCERN RELATING TO THE PERFORMANCE OF INSURANCE COMPANIES IS, “HOW MUCH OR WHAT IS THEIR CONTRIBUTION TO ROAD SAFETY MANAGEMENT?” SECONDLY ARE THEY NOT PROFIT DRIVEN TO THE EXTENT THAT A VICTIM WHO DOES CLAIM HIS OR HER COMPENSATION HAS CONTRIBUTED TO THEIR PROFIT MARGIN.8 THE NEED FOR AN EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT INSURANCE SCHEME TO ADDRESS BODILY INJURY AND DEATH ARISING FROM ROAD TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS HAS BEEN ADDRESSED IN MANY COUNTRIES. IN THE UNITED KINGDOM, HONG KONG AND SINGAPORE FOR EXAMPLE, THEY HAVE SOME MOTOR INSURANCE BUREAU THAT ARE FINANCED BY PRIVATE INSURANCE COMPANIES WHOSE ROLE WAS AND IS TO COMPENSATE CLAIMS FROM PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN ACCIDENTS WHICH ARE CAUSED BY UNINSURED OR UNTRACED DRIVERS. HERE IN SOUTHERN AFRICA, IN THE REPUBLICS OF SOUTH AFRICA, SWAZILAND, BOTSWANA, AND NAMIBIA 7HEY HAVE GOVERNMENT OWNED ROAD ACCIDENT FUNDS THAT ARE FINANCED THROUGH FUEL LEVY. THE SCHEMES OPERATE ON A NO FAULT BASIS. THIS MEANS THAT ACCIDENT VICTIMS ARE ATTENDED TO EVEN WHEN THE ACCIDENT VICTIM WAS AT FAULT IN TERMS OF CAUSING THE ACCIDENT. FUNERAL BENEFITS, MEDICAL CARE, LOSS OF INCOME, LOSS OF SUPPORT FOR DEPENDANTS AND MANY MORE INCLUDING THE COMPENSATION OF EMERGENCY RESPONSE SERVICES ARE ALL COVERED IN THE SCHEME. IN MODERN GOVERNANCE PRACTICE, THERE IS CRITICAL NEED FOR WIDE CONSULTATION BEFORE ANY MAJOR CHANGE OF POLICY IS UNDERTAKEN, ESPECIALLY WITH THOSE THAT MAY BE INDIRECTLY OR DIRECTLY AFFECTED BY IT. IT IS FOR THIS REASON, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THAT THE MINISTRY OF WORKS, TRANSPORT, SUPPLY AND COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE ROAD TRANSPORT ANT SAFETY AGENCY HAS CALLED FOR THIS STAKEHOLDERS. CONSULTATIVE MEETING TO DELIBERATE ON THE POSSIBLE INTRODUCTION OF A ROAD ACCIDENT FUND AS PROPOSED IN THE ROAD ACCIDENT FUND COMMITTEE REPORT THAT | UNDERSTAND IS A MAJOR ITEM FOR DELIBERATION IN THIS WORKSHOP.9 THE SCHEME IS MEANT TO ADDRESS THE CHALLENGES THAT THE GOVERNMENT AND VICTIMS OF ROAD TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS HAVE BEEN FACING IN THE POST- CRASH, IN RELATION TO THE CURRENT COMPULSORY THIRD PARTY INSURANCE SCHEME. THE GOVERNMENT IS DESIROUS TO HAVE A SCHEME THAT WILL ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF ALL ROAD USERS. * ASCHEME OF ROAD ACCIDENT COMPENSATION WHICH ADDRESSES THE NEEDS OF ROAD ACCIDENT VICTIMS’ FINANCIAL AND MEDICAL REQUIREMENTS AT THE TIME OF THEIR GREATEST NEED FOR IT; + ASCHEME OF ROAD ACCIDENT COMPENSATION WHICH STRIKES A DELICATE BALANCE BETWEEN ITS SUSTAINABILITY AND PROVIDING VALUE TO ITS INTENDED BENEFICIARIES.; « ASCHEME OF ROAD ACCIDENT COMPENSATION WHICH WILL BE FREE FROM ABUSE BY UNSCRUPULOUS AND UNDESERVING CLAIMANTS; AND * ASCHEME WITH AN APPROPRIATE LEGAL AND IMPLEMENTATION FRAMEWORK. * LADIES AN GENTLEMEN, | NOW WISH TO CLOSE MY SPEECH BY SIMPLY DECLARING THIS IMPORTANT WORKSHOP OFFICIALLY OPENED AND WISING YOU FRUITFUL DELIBERATIONS. THANK YOU.
