Gov't Moves to Enforce the Famous Michuki Rules to Curb Road Accidents
The government has moved to enforce the famous Michuki rules in a bid to curb the high number of accidents on Kenyan roads.
Consequently, all Public Service Vehicles (PSVs) have been ordered to comply with the rules within a period of two weeks failure to which they will face the law.
In a joint statement, Transport and Interior ministries have directed matatu owners to fit their vehicles with speed governors, safety belts and yellow lines.
PSV drivers and conductors are also required to wear uniform during duty and carry a tag prominently displaying their photos.
“Therefore, effective Monday ,12th November 2018,any PSV vehicle, drivers, SACCOs/Transport companies, passengers and other relevant parties that fail to comply with the provisions of the NTSA Act and the Traffic Act will be firmly dealt with the law” reads part of the statement.
The move comes after increased cases of road accidents involving PSVs across the country, with the most recent one being in Fort Ternan, Kericho county where more than 50 people perished.

Michuki died almost seven years ago, why enforce the rules now? I guess we always meant to do the right thing but corruption got on the way. Like we always meant not to build on riparian land but again corruption made it easy to scat around the law. Like we always meant to go tough on corrupt government officials but they're out there walking freely looking for the judicial officers who released them through a sweet bail; so they can bribe them to make the cases go away or delay it long enough that all the witnesses are dead and paper trail is destroyed.

Sometimes I tend to think that these politicians like it when people die so that they can have a chance to talk politics during funerals. Who suspended the so called michuki rules and when. These devil worshipers should shut up and let our departed ones rest in peace. When you are travelling in a matatu whose driver has been drinking all night long, and eighteen wheelers drived by halve asleep mad men rolling from the oposit direction what else can you do except to pray?
