"As we pray for those who lost their lives on the road due to accidents, we are calling upon our drivers to be responsible on our roads and stop driving carelessly on our roads to avoid deaths occasioned by road accidents. The rate at which accidents are happening is alarming, and it needs concerted efforts to stop it," said Obanyi.
John Musungu, Chairman, Kakamega County Boda Boda Association, urged members and road users to stick to the traffic rules to avoid more deaths during this festive season.
He added, "Let our leaders and those privileged to have something to share with the needy in our community."
Kakamega's Women Representative, Elsie Muhanda, who visited new mothers at Kakamega County General Hospital, called on police officers to intensify patrols and inspections on the roads and ensure road users obey the law.
"As we celebrate with the less fortunate in the community, we have seen many accidents happening on our roads. I want to urge our police officers to enforce laws and measures put in place to ensure safety on roads," Muhanda.
