Enforce proposed measures to end road carnage in Kenya

The lethargy that assails institutions charged with road safety has to be shed off. A time has come that Kenyans must say enough is enough and endeavour to seek ways of making our roads safe. Accidents have continued to claim lives not because they cannot be tamed, but for want of trying. Between December 1 and today, 180 people have died in accidents.

Acting Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i has set the ball rolling, outlining measures that will ensure our killer roads become safe. No doubt, Dr Matiang'i has demonstrated over time that he is a man with plenty of resolve; that once he sets his mind to anything, he sees it to its logical conclusion. His tenure at the Education ministry is ample proof of that, all the more reason why Kenyans now put their hopes on him to end this road madness in Kenya.
