Govt promises to expedite driver-related policy changes in the road freight industry

Government has committed to speeding up policy changes in the road-freight sector following recent protests by truck drivers against foreign nationals filling job opportunities they believe should go to local drivers, as well as what they view as the lack of regulation in the road-freight industry. A subsequent meeting between the aggrieved drivers and owners, as well as the ministers of Employment and Labour, and Home Affairs, the Deputy Minister of Police, officials of the Department of Transport (DoT), and other affected departments, has now seen government commit to “speedily address” some of the issues that had been raised.
