Former President John Dramani Mahama has expressed his condolences to the families of the victims of Friday’s accident that occurred on the Kintampo-Techiman road in the Bono Region.

Mr Mahama also expressed his condolences to the families of the victims of the fatal accident that occurred at Ekumfi in the Central region, also on Friday.

Ten people were also reported dead in the accident on the Ekumfi road, with several others sustaining various degrees of injuries.

In a Facebook Post, the former president said “another sad day for our dear country; our roads are becoming killing fields and road safety continues to be a major challenge.

“My condolences and that of the National Democratic Congress go to the families of the deceased persons. Our prayers are also with those injured and we beseech God to grant them a speedy recovery,” the post stated.

Mr Mahama urged road safety stakeholders to up their game in dealing with road safety issues.

“All stakeholders on road safety- the licensing authority, driver unions, police, Road Safety Commission, and government- must not relent in their efforts to make our roads safer,” the post added.
