Many Kenyans have been losing lives along the roads, with careless driving being one of major contributors to the disaster. At least 2,000 people die annually from road accidents.

On Wednesday, Interior Cabinet Secretary Dr Fred Matiang'i said reforms on the roads are ongoing, with the major focus being reducing fatalities.

The Interior minister said speeding vehicles will be easily detected using the device, a shift from the previous using of digital recording cameras.

"We are on a trajectory to transform the transport sector, and we wont be turning back. We welcome the commitment by stakeholders as we journey towards zero fatalities on our roads," he said.

"The building of an ultra modern command centre with capacity to detect speeding vehicles is amongst steps taken towards elimination of mobile death traps on our roads," he added.

Early this year, Matiang'i ordered NTSA out of major highways, delagating the roles back to Traffic Police, who are stationed across the country.

Dr Matiang'i, who was elevated by President Uhuru Kenyatta to take charge of monitoring government projects, was speaking in Nairobi when he handed over ambulances to 5 counties.

The ambulances we're donated by European Union and African Development Bank, which is also financing Ahero-Isibania road in Nyanza.
