"We further wish to caution all motorists to be cautious of wet and slippery roads especially in Western, Nyanza and Rift Valley where rainfall is still being experienced," he said.
He said the authority had deployed enforcement officers across the
country to monitor and enforce compliance by all road users.
"We have traditionally experienced rise in road crashes during this
festive season that claim hundreds of lives. This year we are determined to
reverse this trend," he said.

Meja maintained that most accidents were as a result of human error related to violation of traffic rules and regulations.
"Speeding, drunk driving, illegal PSV operation,
contravention of PSV on unlicensed routes and careless overtaking on blind
corners and continuous yellow lines are among the major causes of road
fatalities," the statement read.
Meja called on all travelers and motorists to report any form of violation to
the NTSA App, that can be downloaded at Google play store.
