Narok Governor Patrick Ntutu is now calling on motorists to be vigilant while driving along the highways to reduce the number of accidents reported.
This is after four people, among them three foreigners and a Kenyan driver died on the spot at Katakala area along the Narok-Bomet highway, while driving in a tour vehicle.
The accident occurred when the tour land cruiser attempted to overtake but unfortunately collided head-on with an oncoming trailer killing all the occupants on the spot.
While condoling with the families that have lost their dear ones, Ntutu called on drivers to take caution and observe all the traffic regulations to avoid such accidents.
The governor regretted the increased number of accidents in the area recalling that in the previous month, two brothers died while driving on their motorbike at Ntulele area in Narok East Sub County.
He therefore called on motorbike riders to put on protective gears like helmet and reflector jackets that are recommended to protect lives and reduce accidents.
The governor also called on the wheat farmers to be watchful during this season of wheat harvesting as cases of robbery were being reported regularly.
He challenged the farmers to open bank accounts where they can save their money instead of carrying the entire amount in their pockets, risking their lives.
His sentiments follows a recent incident where a prominent farmer was robbed Ksh 100, 000 after exposing his money to the public while in a night club.
“Please be careful of strangers who deceive you and get away with all your money especially during this wheat harvesting season and high tourism peak season,” he said.
The governor spoke after commissioning a health facility at Oldekesi Health Center in Narok East Sub County, where he asked residents to shun dirty politics and embrace progressive politics so as to boost their livelihood.
