Red plates have always been known to be abrasive on the road due to some 'superiority' they feel but there is an 'uprising' among the Kenyans now who are feeling they cannot stand the way they behave.

I see nothing has happened yet...

Story by a witness Me Myself and I: Diplomatic Road Rage

18CD17K Canadian High Comission

Sad tale. But remember this is a single story and there is always the danger of a single story.

Red, blue, black, White, Yellow, GK, KM or green plate, you must realise that anyone who drives does that as an individual and therefore the actions of one lady in a red plated car should not be used to cast a whole community into disrepute. Many of those red plate cars are usually in the hands of Kenyans employed by the missions or inter governmental organisations.

Just like there are matatu drivers who will display a rare show of courtesy and care for his/ her passengers and other road users, there is bound to be a diplomatic community member who is bound to display extreme levels of mental instability on the roads-besides alcohol and other substance abuse is not altogether to be ruled out.

We should deal with these cases on a case by case basis.

MsKenya,

pm@pm.gc.ca.


and he is on "twira"

And so you think emailing the Canadian PM will help. How about emailing your own PM to alert him of the misdemeanours of your fellow citizens?

Make note of the time, place, date etc. Even pictures of the act can be useful.

Enough embarrassment raised can cause action.

Guka. Ok lets all stop the hyperventilation. I will.

There is nothing in for me and I'm sure this is pretty clear to you. What I would say instead is that the aggrieved person, not the persons who have read this on facebook should contact the police and report. Did they expect action from an embassy security staff? In fact there is a diplomatic police unit within the Kenya police ( check the Kenya Police website for contacts) which can be reached if no response is reached. Do national of other countries where Kenyans have moved to write to our high offiices when the Kenyans are involved in traffic or other offences.

Unless you can prove that the behaviour of one employee is orgnaisational policy, writing to the PM is an overkill.

And in my very honest opinion, Ms Kenya's claim that red plated cars are driven abbrasively is false. In most cases, defensive (mwenye nguvu mpishe) driving skills are employed.

@Spend-thrift,
If you have read and understood the article,all that you are asking for has been done yet there has been no action (The way i understand it,a simple apology from that bi*ch would have sufficed)......Two,someone hits your car,backs up and hits the car again and then zooms off,is that a traffic offence as you put it?....If you ask me,this borders on racism,colour or both.This,my friend,is unacceptable and it warrants the attention of everybody,including the Canadian PM.

@Njung'e we are being too diplomatic to 'uncouth diplomats' here. Respectfuly @Spend.thrift, your sentiments are quite level headed particularly because your wife was not the one in the car.

If you were Kenya's ambassador to Canada (let alone ambassadorial staff) and you were so careless towards a Canadian citizen, you would have already been sent home!

I would sue the Ambassador and Canadian Embassy under a certificate of urgency for damage to car, and violation of peace of mind. Even finding whether it is possible to have another case filed in the efficient Canadian courts.
