The situation is not far from the one in my Country Kenya the only bad thing is that 90% of vehicles on our roads are secondhand vehicles imported from Japan the vehicles are atleast 7 years old and are mostly low end toyotas and nissans this means they have little in way of protection and this coupled with the rampant corruption at inspection stations means that alot of vehicles on our roads are unroadworthy.
Alot of accidents are attributed to failing mechanical parts on our vehicle are the fact that large trucks share the same road with small speeding vehicles is always a recipe for disaster.
The government recently completed the construction of a standard gauge railway with funding from the ever present chinese, this was meant to ease the strain on the roads and reduce the accidents but the reluctance by the citizens to embrace this new form of transport and rather prefer the road route is really discouraging.
