Police Asked To Enforce Law To Curb Road Accidents
The CEC for roads and public works in Busia County Peter Odima, has called on the police to enforce the law that requires all sugarcane transporters to operate from 6am to 6pm saying that many accidents being witnessed on the roads in Busia County, are caused by tractors which operate past the stipulated time. He said this during the burial of Kennedy Wesonga who died instantly after he was hit by a tractor belonging to West Kenya Sugar at 8pm near Aringo junction along Nambale-Butula road. According to an eye witness who also gave his testimony at the funeral, the tractor which was fully loaded and with a single head lamp, lost control before killing the victim.
