NTSA Summons Matatu Sacco Officials After Two Fatal Crashes

The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) has summoned executives from Risen Sacco and Royal Swift Express Limited.

This follows two separate road traffic accidents on Enterprise Road and the Nairobi-Namanga Highway, which killed numerous persons and injured others.

In a statement, the NTSA cited a deadly incident involving a Public Service Vehicle operated by Risen Sacco on Enterprise Road in Nairobi’s Industrial Area, which killed at least four people and injured 15 others.

“The Authority is saddened by the fatal road traffic crash involving a Public Service Vehicle operated by Risen Sacco along Enterprise Road in Nairobi’s Industrial Area,” NTSA said.

According to eyewitnesses, a customized matatu, known as Nganya, was allegedly performing unsafe manoeuvres when the driver lost control.

The vehicle overturned along the busy road, trapping several passengers inside the wreckage before emergency responders and members of the public moved in to assist.

Images from the scene showed the extensively damaged matatu lying on its side as rescue operations continued.

Following last night’s Nganya accident that led to the deaths of at least 6 young people and injuring scores others, it is high time that the road safety leadership has serious conversations about Nganya culture.

The regulator urged all Public Service Vehicle operators and crew members to exercise maximum caution and strictly adhere to traffic rules as investigations into both incidents continue.
