Other Kenyans took issue with the Kenya National Highway Authority KeNAH for their poor road designs that put lives of motorist to danger.
“I keep saying most of fatal accidents in Kenya today KeNHA is a shareholder contributor. Poorly designed sign post or no sign post, repairing roads these days is a joke, there are no designated areas far away from road for public to either walk in safety or sell without interfering with transportation. Everything has been grabbed and encroachment is the order of the day.
“The transport ministry should work closely with counties government agencies to move people away from main roads and it should be a serious law enforcement but we have crooks in offices. We are losing Kenyans every single day in this country,” Boby commented.
Social media user Abuga Makori, on his part, absolved Transport Ministry on this one saying accidents such as this had happened before.
