OVERLOADING is a culture that should stop

Kenyan matatus and other forms of transport have been the subject of accidents – careless driving, carrying excess passengers being the main cause. For the sake of an extra thirty shillings, touts have turned to openly overloading matatus and easily pass the hands of police officers to fulfill their unhealthy desires for more money.

Approximately 3,000 deaths occur from road crashes in Kenya annually, a portion attributed to overloading.
