Transport Ministry announces NTSA officers will be back on roads

The Ministry of transport has today announced the reinstatement of officers from NTSA to Kenyan roads in a bid to tame the rising numbers of road accidents. In a statement released on Tuesday, Transport CS Kipchumba Murkomen who announced a joint crackdown with the Ministry of interior, also ordered the immediate retesting of all public service and heavy truck drivers. The directive comes after 17 people died and scores of others injured after a spate of road accidents on Monday.

A 360° approach is needed, the road designs, the drivers, the vehicles, the law enforcement teams, the passengers, other road users, knowledge, 😢

This goverment should continously b proactive

We kwenda Jenga barabara za maana sio kuongea vitu senseless nkt

Kupanua barabara ya mombasa road kama vile mnapanua alter zenu za kafara ndio hamtaki

[donelion]

Especially overtaking has led to so many accidents..many drivers don't observe traffic rules

[sylviaecke]

nyinyi maburukenge manifesto yenu ni freemason mnatoa watu sadaka

[danmichael]

Some decisions don't make sence. How many psv drivers are there in comparison to psv accidents, ...why subject all drivers to retest!

[josephmaina-vmlc]

Murkomen bure kabisa akuna kazi panua Barabara kama za Dubai

[David-obcb]

People have learnt the art just blame the government, there's an accident here just blame the government, someone has ingested poison just blame the government if all drivers took it upon themselves and be responsible we wouldn't be having this accidents, unnecessary bright strobe lights mounted on vehicles, bodabodas, unnecessary loud trumpets, drivers chewing khat etc etc are the vices...but if yiu try to speak to any of these guys thry know more than anyone else

[felixmaigo]

NTSA coming back to roads is not a solution they're supposed to plan on how to introduce defensive driving classes to all drivers cz most accidents happen due to lack of defensive driving skills

[festusnyakundioigo]

the only way to reduce road accidents is for the traffic police to be stopped kujukua pesa Barabarani kutoka kwenye matatu.halafu accident ikitokea wanafika haraka kujifanya wako kazini.but God sees everything even if the Government does not act.

[njorobucci]

Conflict between ntsa and guys in blue inevitable

[njihiapeter]

oooh my God!!, hawa watu walitolwa kwa barabara juu ya corruption, kunyaganya qatu pesa hadhalani, wamerudi 😮😮😢

To prevent head on collisions, highway dividers must be installed especially on two lane roads where overtaking is more common. Commercial drivers have to take refresher courses every 6 months just like airline pilots or else the carnage will never end.

They should work on their system as well it’s had to get documents from NTSA since the time migration started from Tims to Ecitizen

[bonifaceolwembo]

Many years ago this official ntsa were there, accident occured rapidly not

[mathekarichard]

😂😂😂😂 how is that connected with reckless driving.
The accident that happened past voi was due to reckless driving sio mambo na ngari mzee have even seen new vehicles causing accidents.
The thing ni kwamba drivers should try to avoid reckless driving, driving while drunk....always sensetize people on the importance of servicing their vehicle regularly.
But kuondoa ngari kwa barabara koz it looks like old, sijui nini can't help.
Again whoever has ever passed that mombasa road from mtito to almost mombasa can tell you hakuna tarmac road hapo.
Better even kupitia kwa mchanga tu.
