It is sad to watch innocent Kenyans die or get crippled because
of careless drivers, unethical bus owners and corrupt traffic police. It was
sad to note that the Bus did not have a valid Transport Licensing Board (TLB)
certificate. If the bus owners followed
transport rules, their bus speed governors would have not been tampered with,
the bus drivers should also drive carefully with or without speed governors and
also those to take part of the blame are the traffic police who should be
enforcing these laws; instead they are busy taking bribes at the expense of
human life.
This is too much now, for how long will this human slaughter
on our roads continue, every time leaders speak out to condemn, request for
speedy investigations and actions to be taken. At least now we hear that night
travel by public service vehicles (PSV) will be stopped but that is not the
only solutions. Yes night accidents have been the worst even involving school
buses. However that doesn’t mean that accidents don’t happen during the day.
Something more needs to be done, like prosecuting the bus drivers (that is if
they survive), the bus owners and the traffic police who were on duty enroute.
Otherwise it will be so sad to hear of another terrible
accident within a few days after this one.
God help us.

Lets follow Michuki laws to avoid these accidents. When those laws were implemented accidents fell by a large degree.
True, Michuki was a great leader and hope another leader will come like him to ensure law and order is maintained.
