Following a tragic crash that claimed 16 lives on the Nyeri-Nyahururu Highway, Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has ordered the Kenya National Highways and Safety Authority (KeNHA) to construct dedicated cycling lanes along that route. A requiem mass is currently underway at the ASK Kabiru-ini grounds in Nyeri for the 16 victims of the tragic road accident. Kindiki has also urged the Judiciary to lift court orders that suspended the National Transport and Safety Authority's (NTSA) instant fines system, advocating for its swift reinstatement to enhance road safety. Separately, KeNHA has announced progress on a major infrastructure project funded by the World Bank, involving the construction of three highways to link seven counties in the Western, Nyanza, and Rift Valley regions.
