Ho Central MP Richmond Kpotosu cautions drivers against overspeeding, drink driving
Richmond Edem Kpotosu, the Member of Parliament for Ho Central, cautioned drivers against overspeeding and driving under the influence of alcohol. He said, "It is not how fast you drive, but how safely you arrive."
Mr. Kpotosu spoke to drivers who had benefited from a free health screening exercise organised by his office at the Ho main station to commemorate his birthday. The drivers, along with some traders and travellers, were screened for eye conditions and diabetes, and had their vitals checked. Mr. Kpotosu said the exercise was crucial to the health needs of the commercial drivers who hardly take time to access healthcare, and that an unhealthy driver could pose a danger on the road, which may lead to accidents. He added that the screening exercise was to put the transport workers on alert about their health conditions and curb accidents caused by related health conditions. He also advised passengers to be punctual when traveling "so, that you do not give the driver pressure to speed and meet your timeline of arrival."
There were free renewal and registration onto the National Health Insurance Scheme.
