In the wake of mounting road carnage, President Uhuru Kenyatta has ordered the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) to leave the manning of Kenyan roads to traffic police.

Speaking at the burial of the three African Independent Pentecostal Church (AIPCA) bishops who died in road accident on December 29, 2017 in Mwea, Kirinyaga County, the president said, “Today the government is directing all NTSA officers on the roads to go back (to offices) and leave traffic duties to the police.”
