Kenya’s Boldest Voice
The Standard Group Plc is a
multi-media organization with investments in media platforms spanning newspaper
print operations, television, radio broadcasting, digital and online services. The
Standard Group is recognized as a leading multi-media house in Kenya with a key
influence in matters of national and international interest.
It‘s now clear that some traffic police officers, instead of enforcing the law they have turned road blocks into extortion points. The fact that corrupt police, public service vehicles (PSV) conductors and drivers do little to conceal their dirty act is an indication of the laxity in law enforcement. Any keen regular traveler on Kenyan roads will easily attest to this appalling state of affairs.
It is in this light that I find the announcement by the National Transport Authority (NTSA) that road carnage has gone up by 40 per cent in the first quarter of 2016 disheartening to say the least.
