The government will deregister all driving schools and register them afresh to curb road accidents, acting Interior CS Fred Matiang’i has said.
This comes after 17 people died in a grisly road accident on Sunday at the Thika-Garissa highway near Kilimambogo area.
“We need to know who is qualified. We are giving licences to murderous [people]. How is it that we don’t review their health every year?” Matiang’i said.
Speaking in Nairobi on Tuesday, Matiangi said controlling the deaths on the roads must start with the driving schools.
“NTSA will provide a criteria and frameworks to guide the driving schools. They shall have to be registered again,” he said.
“When we start getting challenges on the road we start asking about the driving schools. We cannot continue with this madness.”
