One of the basic requirements for public service vehicles (PSV) is to have a licence from the Transport Licensing Board, popularly known as TLB. On this, the route a vehicle is licensed to ply is clearly indicated. If there are to be deviations, there must be good reasons for it and a new temporary licence issued.
In light of the Saturday morning accident at Soysambu, Gilgil, which claimed 20 lives, were these rules observed? It is necessary to pose this question because the ill-fated bus is reported to have been licensed to operate within Nairobi only.
