New traffic rules may end up failing

I am skeptical that the new NTSA rules will help inject or restore sanity to our roads. The introduction of these rules is in fact long-overdue.

It ought to have happened long ago to avoid the rising statistics of road fatalities. Years ago, the so-called 'Michuki rules' worked very well.

The rules were, however, watered down after Mr. Michuki was moved from the Transport ministry. We may not experience such exact misfortunes with the new NTSA measures but something similar is highly likely to be witnessed.

If the state plans to use the new rules just to generate revenue, then they are bound to fail.
