Speaking in Matuu town Secretary of chamber of commerce for Matuu market Patrick Nzioka said that many vehicles mostly those transporting miraa are driven at a high speed.
Nzioka said that many accidents happening along that road could be avoided if the police, more so traffic police are serious with their jobs.
Nzioka was speaking after a six-year-old boy died on the spot after being knocked down by a vehicle ferrying miraa that was at a high speed.
Nzioka noted that in spite of the residents pleading with Kenya National highway authority to ensure the road has bumps mostly at Matuu, their cries have fallen on deaf years.
He urged drivers to be vigilant on the road to reduce accidents.
