A Kenyan is petitioning President Uhuru Kenyatta and the givernment to swing into action and end accidents witnessed Salgaa.

Kibet Kurgat said he is forced to ignore protocol and address the president himself because he fears more people might die soon at the spot.

"Sir (Mr President), I am requesting for an immediate attention to this section of the road. Your government may be already addressing this, and I greatly appreciate if it so. However, since we hear or see nothing, I have taken the risk of raising with you, even bypassing the relevant departments since I fear that someone or other people will die soon,”Kibet said.

Here is what he wants Uhuru to ensure:

1. Immediate order that the stretch between Total Junction and Nakuru Town be immediately designed and made a dual carriage. We know funds will be available when there is a political will to save the lives of your subjects.2. That the road signages be immediately erected and be monitored. Those vandalizing them and using them for Jua Kali purposes be apprehended and prosecuted.3. That the town called Salgaa should have a frontage road with an underpass approach starting at least 5 kilometres on either side. This should prevent parking of those long trucks on the shoulders of the road.4. That the bridge just below Salgaa should be designed in such a way that the approach is gentle and straight. The current approach is very steep from Molo side and forms a sharp bend on the bridge.5. That other roads especially the Nakuru – Eldama Ravine – Makutano be expanded to allow larger trucks to use it. This will decongest this Molo – Nakuru section. Also consider Nakuru -Njoro – Molo – Mau Summit road for upgrade.6. That road blocks be removed especially those that miraculously appear at night and disappear in the morning. Instead, there should be unmarked, mobile NTSA and police patrols.7. That in one of your addresses, please acknowledge that this section of the road has taken many lives and needs to be attended to.8. That the management a national commission be created to study and recommend changes in designing and building better roads in Kenya.
