Kimende residents in Lari Sub County want the government to erect bumps along the Lari-Naivasha road to curb cases of accidents.

Speaking to this writer on Sunday at Kimende trading center, Stella Mbuthia, a trader said erection of bumps will reduce the accidents.
She alleged that motorists are fond of over speeding, putting lives of pedestrians at risk.
“The government should erect bumps along Lari-Kimende-Naivasha road to reduce accidents, pedestrians and traders are in fear of being knocked by careless drivers,” she said.
Mbuthia alleged that motorists have taken the advantage to over speed especially at night.
Jackson Kamiti, a fruit and honey vendor at Kimende alleged that five people have been knocked down in the last one month at the trading centre.
