Road indiscipline in Kisii is becoming a great issues which had been snobed by the authority. The public service vehicles, commonly known as matatu and the probox, are breaking road rules anytime they feel like.
The Kisii-Kilgoris and Kisii-Keroka route are the most notorious in this unbecoming behavior.Although there are several road block, with a fifty shilling note, the block becomes invisible.
There is always space for one more. The driver's seat is not spared at all. They will be packed into four, for both the matatus and the probox.
The boot area seems to be a comfort zone as it will be occupied by four to five passengers who will pay a subsidised amount of money.For the matatus, passengers (both men and women) will hang by the door side. As long as you attached to the moving car the journey is set to start. It doesn't matter where you are.
The county government of Kisii is aware of this but is reluctant to act on the law breakers.
Several accidents have killed many people due to ignorance of road rules but people seems not to learn.
Thirst for money is the main accelerator of overloading.
