Govt must expedite computerization of vehicles registration

Zanu PF legislator Dexter Nduba has urged the government to expedite the computerization of vehicle registration processes to ensure speed processes at the offices.

Speaking in parliament Nduna said there is 1.5 million vehicles on roads, of which 22 000 are Government and quasi-Government vehicles.

"There is about 120 000 Public Service vehicles of which 65% of those are not licenced in terms of Public Service permits. Is it not prudent to expedite the issue of computerization of the transport management system so that effectively, the Minister could know which of those are not licenced; which Public Service vehicles do not have any permits because if they carry people unsuspecting; innocent passengers, if they are not licenced, they tend not to get any compensation for those that would have been bereaved and for those that would have been injured in those Public Service vehicles?" he said.

Transport and Infrastructural Development minister Jorum Gumbo said the Member who used to be the Chairperson of the Committee of Transport and Infrastructural Development is fully aware of what processes they were taking as a Ministry; together with their Committee because he still remains a Committee member to address that issue which is very critical and important.

"Therefore, plans are already underway Hon. Member and through you Mr. Speaker Sir, to address the issue of concern by the Hon. Member." he said.
