Vaz says cabinet will soon deliberate on a request for 20% of traffic fines collected to be given to his ministry

Transport Minister Daryl Vaz says Cabinet will soon deliberate on a request, for 20 percent of funds collected in traffic fines, to be given to the ministry.

The money now goes to the ministries of National Security, Finance and Justice.

The Transport Ministry is seeking to use the traffic fines for a road safety revolving fund.

Speaking at a recent virtual meeting, of the Transport Operators Development Sustainable Services, Mr Vaz noted that initially, 10 percent of the money was suggested but this would be inadequate.

He said 20 percent translates into millions of dollars, which would go a far way in implementing road safety initiatives.

He said the funds could also be used to fund other programmes within the sector.
