The Milimani Traffic Court on Wednesday began an exercise aimed at sensitising the public on road safety and traffic rules.
Magistrates Susan Shitubi, Martha Nanzushi and Esther Kimilu and Senior Superintendent of Judicial Police Unit Faridah Rotich are leading the exercise dubbed ‘Kaa Rada Kwa Rodi’.
“Starting today, tomorrow to Friday, we are getting out. The traffic court plus all stakeholders, NACADA, Office of the Public Prosecutions (ODPP), the police, the county and National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA, it’s time to come out and meet them and interact and ask the questions you have always had,” Chief Magistrate Shitubi said.
The court joined by the stakeholders will transverse the entirety of Nairobi County in a bid to ensure that traffic laws are observed and road accidents are minimised.
Among the issues they seek to raise concern about is the safety of school children, the issue of reckless driving, handcarts, drunk driving, avoidance of footbridges, jumping over guard rails, not prioritising pedestrians at zebra crossings and hawkers taking over footbridges.
