Activist Boniface Mwangi is now calling on Roads and Transport Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen to give Kenyans a hotline number so they can report incidences of unruly road users.
Mwangi on Thursday also urged the CS to start a hashtag on social media that road users can use to report cases of unruly drivers.
"You are the Cabinet Secretary for Roads and Transport. Give us a hotline number to call to report such incidents. Start a road safety hashtag that road users can use while reporting road safety cases. Solutions Sir!" Mwangi said.
This comes after the CS took to X.com to call out an incident of overloading by a tuk-tuk cyclist.
Murkomen called on Kenyans to protest whenever they see a driver trying to overload a vehicle.
Murkomen spoke after NTSA officials impounded a tuk-tuk meant to carry four passengers overloaded with up to eight passengers.
"To all passengers, please don't encourage this kind of unsafe road behaviour by keeping quiet. Protest when you see a bus driver or a Tuk-tuk cyclist starting to overload," the CS said.
Murkomen said the tuk-tuk was stopped by NTSA and traffic police officers while carrying eight passengers instead of the recommended four on the Kisumu-Nairobi Road.
"Needless to say it was dangerously overloaded," Murkomen said.
In a video going viral on social media, the passengers were asked to alight as the NTSA officials counted them.
When asked who the driver of the tuk-tuk was, the passengers reported that he had already fled.
"I hope the cyclist, who fled the scene, will be made to face justice for his reckless behaviour," the CS said.
"Let's stop risking lives on our roads. Remember that road safety is everyone's responsibility."
