Ugandan veteran broadcasting journalist Joseph Beyanga (aka Joe Walker) has lately become renowned for his road safety awareness creation campaigns and advocacy.
Over the weekend, Beyanga carried on with his personal efforts by leading the “Joe Walker Remembrance Relay 2025,” which saw volunteers and participants take part in a 60 kms walk through key Kampala city roads in order to amplify awareness about the road safety crisis facing Uganda.
The Beyanga-championed event is annually dedicated to honoring and celebrating the memory of thousands of lives this country annually loses due to road carnage-related fatalities. It’s also a platform to sensitize Ugandans on the need to work towards safer and smarter mobility on our roads.
The overall idea is to awaken motorists and other road users towards realizing that it’s possible and appropriate to walk, ride and drive safely on our roads while deliberately avoiding over speeding, reckless and drunk driving. This walk has become a powerful and hard-to-ignore national event in Kampala and other towns.
This Joe Walker remembrance event for this year (2025) began at Sheraton Kampala Hotel and took a 60 kms route through key Kampala city roads. “The distance represents both remembrance and resolve; representative of the need to bridge the gap between preventable road tragedies and a future defined by accountability and innovation,” the organizers explained in a media statement.
Several corporate organizations embraced this year’s remembrance walk and partnered with Uganda’s Joe Walker (aka Joseph Beyanga). These included the Intelligent Transport Monitoring System (ITMS) Uganda, which majority Ugandans simply recognize for being the entity behind the digital number plates technology.
The entity (ITMS Uganda) deployed 12 of its staff who participated as volunteer walkers in the 60 kms remembrance and awareness-creation walk. They also committed Shs10m off their CSR budget to Mulago National Referral Hospital (where hundreds of road accidents victims are rushed) to facilitate additional purchase of the badly-required emergency medical equipment in order to manage road accident victims better.
