Road safety authority big let-down to Kenyans

It might have escaped those at the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) that this is the 21 century, and that Kenya is a civilised society guided by the rule of law when they made suggestions that drunk drivers be forced to work in morgues.

Laws, in any case, are designed to be corrective, not punitive, which NTSA is suggesting. Needless to say, it is exactly this type of retrogressive thinking that guarantees NTSA remains an unnecessary drain on the taxpayers’ money as it fails to competently execute its mandate in the face of increasing road deaths and road indiscipline.
