The first  2023/05/25

 

 

  Baghdad: Raghad Daham

 

The recent decisions of the Council of Ministers regarding banning the import of motorcycles, which include "tik-tuk" and "stouta", were welcomed by parliament.

In the area of regulating traffic in the capital and major cities, and reducing momentum and traffic accidents resulting from the indiscriminate use of motorcycles and similar vehicles, the Cabinet decided to approve recommendations to address the phenomenon of the spread of bicycles (ticking, stota, motorcycles).

 

A member of the Parliamentary Security and Defense Committee, Ali Al-Bandawi, told Al-Sabah: "We encourage the government decisions issued to ban the import of motorcycles, as the spread of (stouta and ticking) in the country is unhealthy, with our utmost respect for their owners, and they represent a source of livelihood for them."

And Al-Bandawi indicated that "the price of the (tuk-tuk) vehicle is close to the prices of some categories of cars," stressing that "the decisions will enter into force as soon as they are issued by the higher authorities."

 

The government has completely banned the import of motorcycles (ticking and pedaling) when safety and security conditions and standard specifications are not met, in addition to completely banning the import of small bikes whose engine size is less than 40 cc, for any purpose.

 

The decision also decided to stop the import of motorcycles in all their forms, whose engine size is (40) cc or more, with the exception of the needs of the security and traffic departments.

 

The spokesman for the Ministry of Interior, Major General Khaled Al-Muhanna, told Al-Sabah that, "The implementation of the recent cabinet decision is implemented in two frameworks.

 

Al-Muhanna continued, "The second framework for the implementation of the decision relates to authorities charged with inspecting warehouses and detecting import violations and cases that violate instructions, and they are responsible for organized crime, as they will have a campaign to monitor any violation of this decision."
