Reckless Driving in Lolwe: Matatu Hits Jogger in Morning Rush

Residents of Lolwe, in the Migosi area of Kisumu, are raising concerns over reckless driving after a woman was hit by a speeding matatu early in the morning while she was jogging. The incident occurred as the matatu driver rushed to secure a spot at the stage ahead of other vehicles, prioritizing passengers over safety.

A witness who confronted the driver was met with abuse and a chilling threat, as the driver warned him that he could be the next victim. This blatant disregard for road safety has sparked outrage among locals, who are now calling for stricter enforcement of traffic laws in the area.

The growing competition among matatu drivers to pick up passengers has led to dangerous driving habits, putting pedestrians and other road users at risk. Many believe that without immediate intervention, such incidents will continue to occur.

Residents are urging traffic police to take swift action against reckless drivers before more lives are endangered. The authorities must ensure that traffic regulations are enforced, and drivers who violate safety rules face serious consequences.

As Kisumu continues to grow, addressing such issues is crucial in making the city’s roads safer for everyone
