This guy must have a lot of faith in humanity to believe that simply because he is right there in front of the car someone won’t run him over.
@steveochi
I once refused to move for an extra passenger in a Matatu. The making and driver almost beat me up.
@vinachwaka
That Mercedes driver should be charged with a traffic offense.
@J82James
Yes, I do agree. We cannot have double standards. This is a lawmaker who loves breaking the same law he purports. Having your cake and eating.., no way. Only about 5percent of Kenyan pop, but they project such a picture depicting the whole country in that light. Shindwe!
@MwangiRi
