AVOID UNSAFE BUSES, USE SANITISED TRANSPORT – KAMUTI
NOEL IYOMBWA writes COMMUTTER Rights Association of Zambia president Aron Kamuti has called on passengers to ensure that they do not use buses without hand sanitizers. In an interview Mr Kamuti said that most bus owners and drivers are ignoring the guidelines of sanitizing passengers and ensuring that all passengers wear face masks. He said that authorities should take serious action on local bus owners who are defying the guidelines of wearing masks and sanitizing passengers if the fight is to be won. Mr Kamuti said that authorities should start impounding buses which are not following the guidelines to prevent the spread of the pandemic. Aaron Kamuti He observed that government through the ministry of Health is doing everything possible to prevent the spread of the virus but that some individuals are frustrating government efforts by not following the guidelines. On Monday morning Mr Kamuti conducted a sensitization on bus drivers and marketers at Ten Miles bus station and market. He however expressed concern with low levels of compliance at the market and buses. Mr Kamuti said that more should be done to ensure that there is compliance both at the market and bus station. He has  since called on market and bus station leadership to ensure that they sensitize the masses on the dangers of Corona virus. “As you can see most people are taking it casual, they are not complying with the guidelines outlined by the ministry of Health. “Most people are ignorant about the pandemic which is a danger because once one contracts the virus, more people can be affected within a short period of time,” he said.
