A religious leader in Narok County has called on the Kenya National Highway Authority (KeNHA) to erect signposts on designated animal crossing points along the Bomet-Narok-Maai Mahiu Road to avert increased incidents along the busy highway.
The call in the wake of the killing of three people while seven were injured after residents barricaded the road in the Duka moja area, demanding compensation for their sheep that had been knocked by a speeding vehicle.
The Friday incident also saw a police officer's left hand chopped off, and he was airlifted to Kenyatta Hospital for specialised medication.
Pentecostal Assemblies of God (PAG) Bishop John Ole Mpurkoi said there was no clear point designated for animal crossing as the signage that had earlier been erected had been vandalised.
