Following the death of 38-year-old Azizah Mohammed, a call is being made to fix the cable barriers along the nation’s highways.

Ms Mohammed was killed in a crossover collision on April 8th.

Couva North MP, Ravi Ratiram believes it is a direct consequence of governmental negligence.

Mr Ratiram says in October 2022, he spoke at the Standing Finance Committee regarding the critical state of highway safety measures, specifically the deteriorating cable barriers.

He accused the Government of continuously failing to act, despite millions of dollars being allocated in the last few years for road safety initiatives.

In addition to repairs to the cable barrier, the MP is also calling for a comprehensive review and restructuring of the entire maintenance process for highway safety infrastructure.
