Jubilee senator lashes out at NTSA as witnesses blame them for causing Sachangwan accident that killed 37 people
Sachangwan road carnage claimed the lives of at least 37 people. National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) has been blamed for causing the grisly road accident.
Sachangwan accident involved more than 15 vehicles. Multiple sources claim the Tuesday 12:30pm accident happened when NTSA officers were chasing a 18-wheeler truck that crashed into several other vehicles.
Witnesses report that the truck driver, who was heading to Nakuru, was being pursued by NTSA officials when he lost control and rammed into oncoming vehicles including a Modern Coast bus, four Matatus, a truck and several other private vehicles.
It wasn’t us
NTSA Director General Francis Meja told journalists its officers were not in hot pursuit of the lorry that caused the accident. Meja says NTSA officers were trying to warn other motorists of the runaway truck.
“Maybe the people who reported, because they saw a vehicle following the truck, could have been under an illusion that they were in pursuit. No, this is not true. We want to ask the public not to speculate. It’s horrible to crucify officers diligently doing their job without verifying information,” Francis Meja said.
So unfortunate how unprofessional NTSA officers can get!
Jubilee nominated Millicent Omanga lashed out at NTSA following the grisly Sachangwan accident. The lawmaker says NTSA officers acted in a very unprofessional manner.
“Why would NTSA chase vehicles instead of Noting the Number plate circulate it and take the culprit to court?
“Tens of people have been confirmed dead in a grisly road accident at Sachangwan black spot after a truck driver who was being chased by NTSA lost control of the vehicle and hit oncoming vehicles among them a Modern Coast bus, four Nissan Matatus, a truck and several other private vehicles.The injured have been rushed to various hospitals
So unfortunate how unprofessional NTSA officers can get!” Wrote Millicent Omanga on her Facebook page.
