Chief Executive Officer(CEO) of the State Transport Corporation (STC), Nana Akomea has proposed for the use of satellite to check road accidents in the country.
Speaking on Peace FM's 'Kokrokoo' programme, Nana Akomea expressed worry over the rate of accidents on the roads, claiming thousands of lives and causing many other road users to sustain serious injuries.
Road accident-related deaths in Ghana are said to exceed COVID-19 deaths.
Recommending a remedy for the situation, Nana Akomea believed utilizing satellite on the roads will help the authorities to identify reckless drivers and any threat that may cause accidents.
"It should be possible that Accra to Tamale should be on the footprint of a satellite. Today, we have the technology. So, if it is on the footprint of a satellite, the Police stations on the roads . . . should have on the screen the footprint" of the areas, he told host Kwami Sefa Kayi.
Nana Akomea also advised drivers to drive safely.

Nana Akomea using satellite on our roads is NOT the the solution to road accidents, the solution is reconstruction of our roads to 3 or 2 lanes dual carriage is the solution, anything than that is a waste of money and it will solve road accidents
