Emergency medical centres along the major roads are among the lofty plans the National Transport and safety Authority (NTSA) had when it came into being. That was in 2012 when the agency was formed raising hopes that its officers would replace the corrupt traffic police that were roundly blamed for road carnage that has worsened.
It would cost the Kenyan taxpayers over Sh15 billion, according to the agency’s projections. Emergency healthcare facilities every 100kms at Sh1 billion. That wowed road users.
