HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES IN SESSION



House to investigate fake vehicle numbers

The House of Representatives is to investigate the sale and circulation of fake vehicle number plates in the country.

Following a debate on a motion presented by Representative Albert Sam-Tsokwa on the matter, the House noted that the sale and circulation of fake vehicle number plates in the country creates a major security threat to the nation.

The House also noted that an earlier resolution which urged the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) to stop the implementation of the new policy was disregarded by the Commission.

This is coming a day after the Senate ordered the FRSC to stop issuing new vehicle plate numbers and driver’s license. The Senators had during the debate on Wednesday described the new vehicle number plates as illegal, noting that act that set up FRSC does not empower it to issue number plates.

An ad-hoc committee was set-up by the House of Representative to investigate the matter and report back to the House in four weeks
