Elsewhere, KeNHA, in conjunction with the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA), recently announced a three-day nationwide campaign on the roads.
In a statement on Monday, April 14, KeNHA said the nationwide exercise centered on road safety will target two vehicles, including Public Service Vehicles (PSVs).
Other vehicles being targeted are Heavy Commercial Vehicles (HCVs).
KeNHA said that the exercise began on Monday and was kick-started in major parts of the country, adding that the campaign was necessary given the rise in accidents across the country.
"The exercise kicked off today in Eldoret and will continue in other parts of the country, including Malaba, Busia, Kisumu, Nyeri, and Meru.
"The campaign targets drivers of Heavy Commercial Vehicles (HCVs) and Public Service Vehicles (PSVs), aiming to engage high-risk road users, promote responsible behaviour, and enhance collaboration in the dissemination of road safety messages, in response to the recent rise in road crashes," the statement read in part.
