In the view of the Management of the Authority, his efforts at spearheading the development of a new Legislative Instrument to operationalize the Authority’s new mandate is commendable. The Regulations is expected to drive a new agenda for road safety that demands enhanced responsibility from all road safety actors in Ghana.
Prior to his new role as Head of Regulations, Inspections, and Compliance, Mr. Atuahene led the Communications Unit of the Authority to execute a robust and successful campaign for road safety in the media whilst ensuring that road safety policies and interventions reflect the safety concerns of the public.
Kwame Koduah Atuahene, a lawyer and communications expert, joined the Authority as an Information Officer and has risen through the ranks to lead the newly established Directorate for Regulations, Inspections & Compliance. In this role he leads the task of ensuring an improvement in quality of road safety-related services and regulatory administration of the commercial road transport sector.
The National Road Safety Authority (NRSA) is the lead public statutory body responsible for road safety management in Ghana. Originally it was established as the National Road Safety Commission (NRSC) by an Act of Parliament (NRSC 1999, Acts 567) to plan, develop, promote and coordinate policies related to road safety. The law was however repelled in August 2019, and replaced with the National Road Safety Authority Acts, 2019 (Acts 993) with additional mandate.
