The Long-Distance Drivers and Conductors Association (LoDDCA) has accused Kenyan government authorities, specifically the Kenya National Highway Authority (KeNHA) and the police, of contributing to recent fatal road accidents by neglecting drivers' input and concerns.

• Over 16 people were killed in the first 72 hours of the new year, with another six confirmed dead on January 6 along the Londiani-Muhoroni road.
• The LoDDCA claims they are sidelined from policy-making by the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA), the Ministry of Transport, and the police.
• Drivers cite issues such as excessive working hours, forced night driving, poor pay, and unsafe routes, and have accused the Ministry of Labour of failing to enforce relevant laws and the police of encouraging bribery.

• Scores of others sustained serious injuries and were hospitalized, while the front of the bus was completely mangled.
• Kericho County Police Commander James Ngetich confirmed the accident and an investigation into its cause has begun.
• This crash follows two other fatal incidents this week: ten people died on Monday on the Nairobi-Nakuru highway, and five died on Saturday on the same highway due to reported brake failure.
• The Motorists Association of Kenya has called for a crackdown on rogue driving schools, urging the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) to ensure comprehensive driver training.
