NTSA should enforce traffic rules in Kenya

Every so often, the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) introduces regulations whose aim, we are told, is to curb road menace.

Taking stock now, can we say these regulations have been effective? Granted, there is more order today in the transport sector than in the period before 2012, when NTSA was formed by an act of parliament and given the mandate to make our roads safe.

But we must also agree that order by itself has had very little impact in safeguarding lives that are needlessly lost through road accidents.
