Road and vehicle safety in Kampala with Michael Wanyama
In the final episode of season 5, we speak with road and vehicle safety activist, Michael Wanyama from AutoSafety Uganda. We discuss how the impact of used and unsafe vehicles on the roads in Uganda is often missed from the discussion around road safety and rising fatalities, as well as their contribution to rising emissions. Also Michael talks about his work training local mechanics and improving regulations in the industry.
