Transport Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen two days ago announced measures to contain road accidents in the country after cases of accidents by road got wild recently.
“All vehicles will be inspected and each motorist will be issued with an inspection certificate to confirm that one has been servicing the vehicle, have good brakes, and so forth,” Murkomen announced.
However, the most recent data from the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) revealed that 1,072 fatalities have been reported between January and March 2023.
