How did Kenyans feel about the Magina accident?

Ndegwa Wambugu

“NTSA Kenya and the Motorists Association of Kenya, it should be made a law that all public transport vehicles (PSVs) be fitted with 360 degree dashcam cameras, like a black box, so that they can be inspected in case there are complaints of dangerous driving or accidents. This will restore discipline on the road.”

“Drive carefully and save lives. It is better to reach your destination in two days than to risk everything in a hurry.”

Sammy Ba Kim

“Until the bus drivers are taught to understand the weight rule and its violation, accidents like this will continue. How can someone drive a bus at a speed of 160km/h and expect to control it during an emergency?”

Gathome Esther

“Long-distance buses should have two drivers. Drivers get tired and fall asleep while driving.”

“It’s about time companies give their drivers enough time to rest. Someone makes a six-hour journey without rest and then comes back to drive again; fatigue and negligence will bother these drivers.”

Ing’r Njuguna Wa Kimani

“These buses should be equipped with dimming lights. They drive with bright LED lights. When you meet them you have only three options: slow down, stop, or let them pass—a situation that can lead to rear-end collisions, head-on collisions, or running into curbs.”
