The Drivers’ Association of Zimbabwe has approached Parliament seeking legislation that would set a minimum educational qualification for obtaining a driver’s licence.
The Speaker of Parliament, Advocate Jacob Mudenda, read out the notice of petitions received during Tuesday’s National Assembly sitting.
“Third, a petition from the Drivers’ Association of Zimbabwe, beseeching Parliament to enact legislation that professionalises the driving occupation and transforms it into a profession with a professional association, which will be mandated by law to set entry educational qualifications,” he said.
The Speaker informed the House that the petition had already been referred to the Portfolio Committee on Transport and Infrastructural Development
