NAIROBI, Kenya Oct 26 – The government has outlined a three-pronged road safety intervention focusing on infrastructure funding, stricter traffic enforcement and improved driver training following a head-on collision that killed 22 people along the Nairobi–Mombasa Highway.
Transport Cabinet Secretary Davis Chirchir said the government would strengthen the management of accident black spots, intensify enforcement against dangerous driving and tighten training and oversight of commercial and public service vehicle drivers.
The measures were announced following Saturday’s fatal crash at Kanga, approximately 10 kilometres east of Mtito Andei, involving a commercial cement tipper truck and a passenger bus belonging to Power of the Word Church International, Mombasa.
