@M_Kananura Vehicle modifications must only be carried out professionally by authorized and qualified/certified personnel to ensure maintenance of vehicle balance, Stability, structural integrity and overall mechanical performance of the modified vehicle.

This vehicle impounded at Jinja Bridge after it was found to be illegally modified. Imagine a Toyota Mark X converted into a pickup. Such vehicle modifications are unlawful. Under the #Arrive #Alive Phase II operations, no stone will be left unturned in enforcing road safety & compliance.

@M_Kananura **WHY Approval?* Poorly done modifications to the vehicle grossly affect its overall safety and performance on the road depending on the type of modification carried out.

@M_Kananura *Why need to Approve vehicle modifications:* Legal: The Traffic and Road Safety Act Cap 347 (Section 125) requires one to seek approval from the Chief Licensing Officer or Vehicle manufacturer (depending the type of modification to be carried out) prior to modifying a vehicle

@dabirungi @MoWT_Uganda The success to be registered : Immediate/Medium term success: improved vehicle fleet circulating on our roads (Safer Vehicles) Long term success: improved road safety. Less road users getting involved in road crashes associated with vehicles in poor mechanical condition.

@MoWT_Uganda What is the exact problem you will be solving with this inspection? What will success look like? When can we check ✔️ for this success? Just 3 answers.

Mandatory Motor Vehicle Inspection to commence on 1st July, 2025. The Ministry has already taken over the SGS facilities and will commence gradual implementation between March and June with trainings, sensitization of the public, and then come 1st July start Mandatory Motor Vehicle Inspection in full force-@GenWamala @UgandaMediaCent

@dabirungi @MoWT_Uganda What is the exact problem you will be solving with this inspection? Getting rid of unroadworthy vehicles which are a danger to occupants/passengers and all road users generally. …. and a host of other benefits!

@MoWT_Uganda Very shocking sad news!😭 Ina Lilahi wa Ina ilaihi Rajeoun. May her Soul RIP🙏🏼

The Family at the Ministry of Works and Transport with deep sorrow announce the passing of our long serving and dedicated Civil Servant, Ms. Rosemary Tibiwa, Commissioner Transport Services and Infrastructure who departed this life today, 1st February, 2025.

May Ms.Rosemary rest in eternal peace, knowing that her contributions have left an indelible mark on the lives of many.

The roll out of #DigitalRegistrationPlates by @GovUganda was postponed to October, so as to “sensitize” the public. Tomorrow I’ll host @abelmwesi and Mr. Karim from @MoWT_Uganda to brief us what’s in process. Be part of this conversation. Schedule link 👇🏾 twitter.com/i/spaces/1MnGn…
