The Democratic Alliance said it will requests Health Minister Aaron Motsoaledi, to grant emergency funding for National Forensic Laboratories to improve their efficiencies and speed up the elimination of backlogs.
DA MP of Health Wilmot James said the war
against drunk driving requires swift and severe justice, neither of which can
be had when results of the mandatory blood alcohol tests take so long to
complete.
James added that presently, the blood alcohol
samples are required in order to get the drunken driving convictions as the lab
improves their processing but it still not fast enough.
He concluded by saying that It is therefore
of the greatest importance that Motsoaledi make the proper investments in the
laboratories that fall under his governance.
