Transport and Communication Minister Yamfwa Mukanga has told organisations dealing with transport issues to come up with ways of reducing road traffic accidents in the country. 

Mr. Mukanga says about ninety percent of road traffic accidents are caused by human error. 

He was speaking when officials from the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport Zambia Council called on him at his office in Lusaka. 

Mr. Mukanga says Government is not happy that the country is losing citizens through road carnage, which can be prevented. 

The Minister has also urged the institute to make suggestions to government on addressing challenges facing the transport sector. 

He says Government is keen to work with organisations, which have the interest of Zambian citizens at heart. 

And Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport Zambia Council President Milton Sakala says his organisation will come up with an action plan on how accidents can be reduced. 

Mr. Sakala has also urged Government to deal with fake driving licences. 

Meanwhile, council Vice President Phidelia Mwaba has praised President MMichael Sata for appointing a female as Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Transport. 

Ms Mwaba says the transport sector has a lot of opportunities, which women should consider taking up. 

The council presented Mr. Mukanga with the CILT Zambia Patron Plaque.
