The Road Safety Association of Kenya (RSAK) has called for the revocation of all driving licenses issued by the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) in the past six years following a weekend of fatal crashes that left at least 20 people dead.

• RSAK's national chairperson, David Kiarie, claims that 80 percent of licenses issued in the last six years were given to individuals who paid for them without attending driving school.
• Kiarie accused the NTSA of selling licenses for Ksh6,000 and cited a recent accident that killed 16 people as evidence of unqualified drivers.
• Concerns were also raised about 1,200 vehicles allegedly paying Ksh6,000 each to forgo inspection, amounting to Ksh7.2 million in alleged illicit payments.

In a tragic accident on Sunday, September 28, near Gilgil on the Nakuru–Nairobi Highway, 14 members of the same extended family were killed when their 14-seater matatu collided head-on with a truck. Four other family members remain hospitalized in critical condition. The family was en route to a gathering in Solai, Rongai Sub-County.

• 14 fatalities reported, all from the same extended family.
• Family Spokesperson Patrick Mburu identified the deceased, including his parents Elijah Mburu and Lydia Njeri, and several siblings, cousins, nieces, and nephews.
• Preliminary investigations by Gilgil Sub-County Police Commander Winston Wakio indicate the matatu driver was overtaking unsafely, causing the crash at Kariandusi.

A bus crash on the Thika-Garissa highway near Mwingi town on Monday evening, September 29, 2025, injured several passengers after the vehicle lost control and overturned. This incident follows another fatal accident near Kikopey, Gilgil, on Sunday, September 28, where 16 people died.

• The bus, which departed Nairobi around 3 pm, crashed just before 6 pm.
• Area residents assisted in retrieving passengers from the wreckage and transporting them to nearby hospitals.
• Preliminary investigations by police suggest either speeding or a slippery road as potential causes.
• According to the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA), Kenya recorded 3,397 road accident deaths in the first nine months of 2025.
