A motorist has put the National Transport and Safety Authority and traffic police on the spot for reportedly ignoring prior complaints made against the bus involved in the grisly accident at Migaa on December 31.

The motorist, Sammy Maina had reported the bus for speeding and flouting other traffic rules three months ago.

Maina said he reported the bus to both the highway traffic police in Naivasha and the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA), but no action was taken against it and three months down the line it sucked the lives of 36 innocent Kenyans.

“I am a regular road user and I have a camera on my dash board. I was heading to Naivasha at around 8am in September when the bus overtook me on the wrong side of the road at around Soko Mjinga area before Kinungi,” Mr Maina told The Standard yesterday.“The driver made several blunders and nearly caused an accident. He was driving carelessly and nearly hit an oncoming Toyota Vitz. He repeated the same mistake at Kinungi,” Maina added.

After he made the report, NTSA promised to follow up with him.

“Thanks for contacting NTSA. Kindly send through your full name, email address, and phone number. We’ll get back to you shortly,” NTSA responded to him.

Maina believes if action could have been taken, the nation would not be mourning the blood of 36 innocent travellers.
