Azimio-One Kenya Coalition Party Presidential candidate, Raila Odinga has promised to a Highway Patrol Unit under the National Police Service.
Odinga says the new unit will be distributed across the country to enforce traffic safety compliance on highways to reduce the number of accidents.
He spoke during the burial of Stellah Memusi, wife to Member of Parliament of Kajiado Central Elijah Memusi. Stellah died in a road accident along the Athi River-Namanga road on Tuesday last week.
“The car was left three days on the road, that is something that should not happen in our country, in other countries, there is a unit called Highway Patrol that is responsible for traffic safety on highways that does not take even more than 3 hours to tow a car, it is important for our police to promptly do the same,” Odinga said.
According to Police, Stellah’s car hit the rear right side angle of a stationary trailer that had been left in the middle of the road for three days.
