The reforms include tougher traffic enforcement, targeted action on accident black spots and stricter compliance with vehicle safety regulations.

Transport Cabinet Secretary Davis Chirchir has announced a series of measures to curb road accidents, including stricter traffic enforcement, improved management of accident black spots and dedicated funding for road safety infrastructure, following two deadly crashes along the Nairobi–Mombasa Highway this month.

In a statement on Sunday, Chirchir said the repeated loss of lives on the country's roads demanded urgent and coordinated government intervention.

“These repeated tragedies are unacceptable. Road crashes continue to claim innocent lives, destroy families, overwhelm our health system and undermine national economic productivity. We cannot continue treating road safety as business as usual,” he said.
