I think NTSA big shots need a thorough beating.

And the deputy President's wife thinks that useless prayers at that salgaa road will end the road carnage?

Just how stupid are some people?

Instead of asking her thieving husband to use his power and position to enforce strict traffic rules and make sure those rules are strictly adhered to with punitive action meted out to people who break those rules, she is busy praying. Praying for what??????

What's needed on the roads is integrity and accountability by drivers, NTSA and the police, not useless prayers. I have driven to shags a bunch of times and I have witnessed on many occasions matatu drivers driving like it's a freaking jungle out there. Whenever I see a matatu on my rear view window, I change lanes immediately. That's how f***ed up these people are. Why should i have to live in fear when there are traffic rules to protect me?
Sanity has to prevail, people have to become civilized on the roads. Why are we still letting these people get away with so much crap on the roads and then holding stupid prayers as if we don't know where the problem lies in the first place? Let's keep it real, matatus and these big slow mechanically unsound lorries that shouldn't be on the road in the first place are the problem. Fix it.

If a matatu driver flouts a traffic law, he should be punished severely. Period. Let's instill discipline in these people. Police should not take bribes and unroad-worthy vehicles should not continue operating. It's called integrity. For crying out loud, just enforce traffic laws and road accidents will reduce dramatically. It's that simple f***ing idiots. But then again, seeking integrity from a country that has citizens whose full time jobs are looking for ways to steal, con, rob and grab is a little too ambitious. This country has a huge population that can only be described as taka taka people. Pieces of shit that have no dignity.

I give up.

Do you expect these drivers to change their mindset by themselves? I thought you should have said number one and most important item is no.2 above... Enforce the law and people will tow the line! Just like in China, enforcing the law makes people think twice before they break it... But here in Kenya where you can just bribe your way out, forget any change...

I am afraid its not a laughing matter. I only learnt the other day that parliamentary committees under the new constitution are extremely powerful. The chair of the transport committee can arm-twist the transport minister to do anything he wishes. He has so much leverage that can make the minister's position untenable.

. How does this happen in the City center. Kwani he was doing highway speed on the streets. What's the penalty for this?
