Speaking at Mai Mahiu, Oguna said that Mai Mahiu-Narok Road has been notorious, recording 53 fatalities this year.
From the cases recorded, 1,372 are pedestrians, drivers are 403, 664 passengers, 1,508 motorcyclists, and 76 are pedal-cyclists.
Last year, the fatalities recorded were pedestrians 1,186, drivers 289, passengers 463, motorcyclists 1,324, and cyclists at 78.
Oguna said that in the past, road fatalities have been attributed to poor road infrastructure.
“However, we note with concern that even after the government's heavy investments in state-of-the-art infrastructure, more lives are getting lost on our roads,” he said.
He said that as the county approaches the festive season, the government is urging vigilance on the road among all Kenyans.
“Nobody should sit inside an overloaded or speeding matatu and keep quiet. All Kenyans must raise their voices and speak against reckless driving that may put the lives of others at risk."
“The numerous road traffic crashes across the country are taking lives of fellow Kenyans or burdening personal health insurance or having negative financial implications to those affected.”
