Drivers under the Motorists Association of Kenya (MAK) have firmly opposed the government's directive of the return of alcoblows on roads, describing the move as not only misplaced but dangerously flawed.
This is after Transport CS Davis Chirchir announced that the return of alcoblows on all major roads will be beginning the Easter season to curb the rising cases of accidents witnessed in the country lately.
In an official statement, the motorists accused the CS of hurriedly returning the alcoblow without correcting its previous systemic flaws, posing a risk of repeating past mistakes. "It reeks of knee-jerk reactions and public relations rather than meaningful road safety management," the motorists said of the CS's decision.
