Kemboi's sentiments were echoed by Mr Tuigong, who said the operation was meant to ensure safety on the road and so far the results speak for themselves.
He said apart from the normal checks, they were inspecting the functionality of speed limiters. He assured road users of their safety during the holidays.
"We are checking speed limiters, which is why the PSV vehicles are lined up for inspection. We are also looking at the condition of the cars as well as the validity of documents such as driving licenses and registrations," he told The Standard.
Drunk driving and malfunctioning speed limiters emerged as leading violations in a four-day crackdown that uncovered 1,702 safety breaches even as 25 people died in 16 road crashes across Kenya on December 23, 2025.
The single-day death toll underscored the heightened risk during the festive season, when increased travel typically leads to a surge in road accidents.
Pedestrians and passengers bore the brunt of the fatalities, with eight pedestrians and eight passengers killed, followed by five motorcyclists, three pillion passengers and one driver.
Beyond drunk driving and defective or missing speed limiters, authorities flagged operating unroadworthy vehicles, carrying excess passengers and contravening insurance requirements as key violations.
