Mr. Mubanga stresses that any motorist who will be found flaunting road traffic regulations with impunity during the jubilee celebration period will be subjected to the fast track court.
Mr. Mubanga states that the agency does not take pleasure in road accidents hence the need for motorists to cooperate and abide by traffic regulations.

Mr. Mubanga has further warned those in the habit of driving under the influence of alcohol which contrary to section 157 of the road traffic act that they will be dealt with accordingly.
