NTSA Director General Francis Meja denied its officers caused Sachangwan accident. Meja says NTSA officers were trying to warn other motorists of the runaway truck.

KOT reacted to NTSA denial by posting photos showing how reckless NTSA officers are on the roads. The photos show how NTSA vehicles regularly endanger the lives of Kenyans by flouting traffic rules.

Driving on the wrong side of the road, speeding, dangerous overtaking are some of the offenses NTSA commit. See the photos and screenshots below:

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!

“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.
