The National Road Safety Authority has conferred an honorary award on Kwame Koduah Atuahene for playing an instrumental role in its transition from a Commission into an Authority. 

The Authority announced the award at the closing ceremony of a Mid-Year Performance Review Conference in Takoradi, convened to assess and critically appraise their performance for the first half of the year.

Mr. Atuahene, the Head of Regulation, Inspection, and Compliance at the Authority, was eulogized for his “exemplary leadership and more than a decade of selfless contribution to the work of the Authority” and for “championing the cause of road safety through relentless advocacy and cross-sectoral engagement.”

In the view of the Management of the Authority, his efforts at spearheading the development of a new Legislative Instrument to operationalize the Authority’s new mandate is commendable. The Regulations is expected to drive a new agenda for road safety that demands enhanced responsibility from all road safety actors in Ghana.

Prior to his new role as Head of Regulations, Inspections, and Compliance, Mr. Atuahene led the Communications Unit of the Authority to execute a robust and successful campaign for road safety in the media whilst ensuring that road safety policies and interventions reflect the safety concerns of the public.
