National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) has permanently revoked the driving licence of a truck driver involved in an accident that claimed 8 lives at Chepsir, Nakuru-Kericho Highway.
In a statement on Monday, NTSA director Francis Meja said, the driver, Abdulle Ali Mohammed is a danger to all road users and should never be allowed to drive in Kenyan roads.
Further, investigations from the last week accident revealed that the driver was driving in a wrong lane.
“Preliminary investigations into the cause of the crash indicates that the driver was descending in the climbing lane towards incoming traffic without due care causing a head on collision,” said Meja.
Meja noted that the decision is aimed at protecting other road users.
“The revocation was necessitated by the fact that the driver is a danger to all road users and should never be allowed to drive in Kenyan roads,” the statement read in part.
