[Photo| Kenya Today]Gatundu South Member of Parliament Moses Kuria has hit out at drivers following the recent road accidents.In a Facebook post on Sunday, Kuria said that the devil should not be blamed for the accidents. He instead noted that the drivers are reckless. The controversial lawmaker also took issue with KEBS and NTSA and blamed them for not performing their duties. "Let us get serious. We cant keep blaming the devil for these accidents. Our drivers are reckless. Period. And we let the foot off the pedestal as far as Michuki rules are concerned. Who checks the seatbelts and speed governors? What is TLB doing? Does KEBS even check on the mechanical soundness of these vehicles? But the beginning point is where did the rains start beating us?" Kuria wondered. "NTSA was supposed to be a policy and standards organ. The work of enforcement belongs to the police. I think someone in the past got over ambitious or may be they fell in love with the alcoblow. NTSA is hopelessly understaffed to carry out enforcement. And it is not even their job in the first place," he Jubilee legislator added. Kuria's remarks came hours after over 30 people lost their lives at Migaa along the Nakuru-Eldoret road on Sunday morning.
In an interview with a TV station on sunday, Transport CS James Macharia said that drivers are to blame for the accidents.
