        Passengers are to blame too for going along with reckless drivers. Passengers should have the commonsense to caution and stop over speeding drivers.

        Night journeys should be banned. I have travelled all night on a bus and it was a nightmare. After escaping accidents, we ran into armed robbers and our driver had to divert into a market where we waited until morning. Africans are careless with their lives.

        Road carnage has been on the high this whole festive season, most especially along the nakuru-eldoret highway. Very sad to lose so many lives yet there is is something each stakeholder can do to curb this fateful incidences.

        I totally blame all the African leaders who keep postponing road constructions and provide government funds for other irrelevant issues, Any highway must be atleast a double carriageway!
