The engagement, held on Wednesday, September 16, brought together the IGP, members of the Police Management Board (POMAB) and representatives of the association.

Mr Yohuno urged commercial motorbike riders to make road safety a priority, stressing the need for members of the association to receive proper training in safe riding practices and comply with road traffic regulations.

He also called on ORAG to regularly educate its members on responsible riding as part of efforts to reduce road crashes and promote safer use of the country’s roads.

The IGP further urged the riders to properly identify themselves and ensure that all members are duly registered.
