Necessary measures for ending accidents

The death of so many people in the same place- Nakuru/ Eldoret highway – in different accidents in less than 24 hours and many others across the country in recent days should be a wakeup call to all Kenyans. 

Clearly, the current situation is untenable. The sad truth, however, is that all these deaths can no longer be viewed as statistics. As a nation, we need to be asking some serious questions about our collective driving behaviour, which seems to be the main reason for these high death rates, especially during this festive season.
