Kenyatta regretted that thousands of people continue to perish on the Kenyan roads due to recklessness and irresponsibility of drivers and the owners of the vehicles.
The Motorists Association in a statement asked for a ban on buses travelling at night until strict vetting is put in place to check the competence of drivers and also speed governors.
“To show seriousness of human life we call for a one month ban of passenger bus travelling at night just like in Tanzania until stringent vetting of drivers competence and fool proof governors are installed,” the association’s chairman Peter Murima said.
Murima said the authority has failed in its duties of ensuring traffic rules are observed and as a result people still continue to die on the Kenyan roads due to such recklessness.

He further asked the President to issue a directive to reconstitute the National Transport and Safety Authority which he accused of corruption that had led to massive flouting of traffic rules
“NTSA officials should move out of the comfort of their luxurious offices and ride in buses incognito to arrest bus crew who manipulate speed governors. Those caught should have licenses suspended for one year,” the association’s chairman said.
