Required standards

The accident comes in the wake of efforts by Government to ensure the transport sector is properly regulated and that all public service vehicles match the required standards to operate.

During the festive season, Traffic police had a crackdown on Public Service Vehicles to take rogue operators from the roads.

The operation saw the enforcement of several rules, including the popular Michuki rules to ensure safety in public transport.
