Decisive action needed to stem accidents

Dozens of families end the week in tears following the loss of loved ones who perished in a road accident along the Mai-Mahiu-Narok road. Sadly, similar scenarios are likely to be re-enacted in many homes if nothing is done fast to stem the bloodshed on our roads.

While this incident has rekindled memories of at least two other major accidents this year, the real carnage goes unnoticed in a devastating trickle of fatalities from hundreds of other road crashes.
