In the wake of a grisly road accident that claimed 34 lives, the NTSA banned night travel with immediate effect.The move has been met with widespread criticism with many saying that it is a knee-jerk reaction.''A ban on night travel is not going to stop road carnage, NTSA has got it all wrong. Cracking the whip on errant drivers and police officers will. Hapo NTSA wamecheza nje,'' Abigael Kamau posted on Facebook.''Francis Meja should just step down because he has failed to rein in road accidents. Night travel ban will not stop the deaths. People have lost their lives even during the day. So he will also ban day travel. Joker,'' Rueben Opiyo wrote.
