Addressing hundreds of boda boda riders at Kagaari Primary School during the disbursement of KSh 5 million in presidential empowerment funds, a visibly agitated Muchangi called out miraa transporters who speed through the constituency like “untouchable missiles" stating they won't be allowed.
“When you enter Runyenjes, you must apply brakes both literally and figuratively.We cannot allow our roads to become slaughterhouses because of a few unruly drivers chasing profits.”Karemba stated.
The MP’s fiery remarks follow a heartbreaking tragedy in Kathageri, where two brothers lost their lives and two more were critically injured after a hit-and-run accident involving a speeding, miraa-laden Toyota Hilux. That incident, he said, was the final straw.
“I’ve officially petitioned the Cabinet Secretary for Transport. We want these death machines off our roads unless they follow the rules.No crop, no matter how lucrative, is worth more than human life.” he said.
MP Muchangi is now calling for urgent action from all corners from police and NTSA to the county government to clamp down on rogue drivers before the situation spirals out of control.
“This is not just a warning. It’s a final call. We must restore order before we bury more innocent lives.” Karemba asserted.
There has been rising cases of accidents related to Miraa transporting vehicle with locals calling for authorities to stamp their authority and bring to end reckless driving along Meru-Embu- Nairobi highway.
