Chief Executive of the Commission Mrs May Obiri-Yeboah explained all its current powers remain persuasive as it was set up to carry out road safety education and advocacy. “If we were given an authority status….we could ensure that …we can enforce the standards of road safety,” Mrs May Obiri-Yeboah said.
