The NTSA — in conjunction with the police — have arrested the operators of a passenger service vehicle (PSV) bus operating in Nairobi for dangerous driving and overloading.
The driver and the conductor of the bus were arrested after a concerned motorist captured it on video that has gone viral on a Nairobi highway.
In the video, the bus labelled Queenta was seen speeding on what NTSA says is Outering Road, as some youth dangerously hang on its door frames.
The operators of the said bus as currently being held at Capitol Hill Police Station.
The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) says the will be arraigned on December 27 2023 to answer charges of risking lives of passengers, violation of traffic rules and operating unroadworthy vehicle in the name of PSV.
Murkomen’s warnings
Transport Cabinet Secretary (CS) Kipchumba Murkomen has consistently warned PSV operators and motorists at large against violating traffic rules.
“It takes care and responsibility on the part of all road users to address challenges presented on our roads. I call upon all of us to continue speaking out against such vices,” CS Murkomen says. “Do not allow a reckless driver to take away the lives of innocent road users.”
The CS encouraged all Kenyans to be vigilant and report incidences on roads.
“With a united voice, we can end the needless loss of lives on our roads.
