The Hon. K. Kader Masthan
K. Kader Masthan urged the Government to strengthen road safety measures by improving vehicle testing beyond current emission checks. He proposed a centralized certification programme covering engines, brakes, signal lights, tyres and other safety components, arguing that proper standards for vehicles in transport would help reduce daily road accidents and improve transport services.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Minister, thank you for the clear, comprehensive answers aimed at preventing public harm. We need a mechanism to reduce daily road accidents. The Government should not keep vehicle emission testing at the current level but pay special attention to ensure vehicles in transport are tested to proper standards. Further, considering engine, brakes, signal lights, tyres, etc., a centralized certification programme would reduce accidents and improve transport services. Please include this in your future programmes. Thank you.
