Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja has urged motorists and all road users to exercise extreme caution during the festive season, warning that increased travel has already led to a surge in road accidents across the country.
Speaking at the Kiganjo Police Training Campus during the official opening of a nine-month training programme for new police recruits, IG Kanja said the Christmas period is traditionally marked by heavy movement of people and goods, both from major towns to rural areas and vice versa, significantly increasing pressure on Kenya’s road network.
