In the recent past,Kenyans on social media have started petitions aimed at calling for the disbandment of the National Transport and Safety Authority(NTSA) over increased road fatalities in the country.
In less than a week, at least 70 people have been reported dead in separate accidents across the country. Several others have been injured as the road carnage continues to worry Kenyans, especially during this festive season when a lot of people travel to upcountry.
The most notable black spots are along Nakuru -Eldoret highway which have claimed more than 30 persons in less than a month.Following an accident at Sachangwan blackspot on the busy Nakuru-Eldoret highway, in what eyewitnesses said was as a result of an NTSA vehicle chasing a lorry, the transport body has come under fire.In its defense, the Authority has denied responsibility saying ‘in all the accidents human error is directly responsible.’Meja defended the NTSA branded patrol car saying it was alerting other motorists to get out of the way after it occurred to them that the truck had lost control.However, KOT is not convinced by NTSA’s efforts in ensuring road safety, and they have taken to Twitter to expose the body of flouting the traffic rules they should be upholding.Here are Photos of NTSA vehicles flouting traffic rules which have been shared on Twitter sparking a debate among concerned internet users.
