As the festive season gets underway, motorists have been warned against evading traffic inspection by multi-agency teams. The warning comes after Commissioner of Police George Losku expressed regret over drivers dodging inspection and abandoning their vehicles while engines were still running.
Speaking to motor vehicle operators at the Meru Police Station, Commissioner Losku emphasized the importance of cooperation with the officers conducting the inspection, citing the need for the safety of all Kenyans. He noted that the inspection will continue throughout the festive season, with a total of 75 vehicles having been impounded so far.
Elsewhere, PSV operators in Kirinyaga county have been urged to be extra careful during the festive season. Meanwhile, motorists and passengers in Samburu County were left stranded for several hours along the Loosuk to Suguta Marmar road due to the poor state of the roads, which have been exacerbated by heavy rainfall in the region.
