Transport minister, bus saccos must step up safety rules or keep off our roads

Kenyans are still reeling from the pain and sense of helplessness following the horrific Fort Ternan bus accident in which 58 people lost their lives and dozen others were maimed in a tragedy which could have been avoided. Truth be told, they could not have died if their government cared.

The traffic police, the bus owners and the Sacco, the Ministry of Transport, the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) have blood on their hands. The buck stops at the desk of Transport Cabinet Secretary James Macharia. His docket has failed to return sanity on our roads.
