    "content": "The Isebania-Kisii-Ahero Road is a transit route running along the eastern shore of Lake Victoria from Isebania to Lokichogio in northern Kenya and continuing onwards to Juba. This road not only serves as a key trade route connecting Mwanza Port of Tanzania with Kisumu Port, but also plays a significant role in driving the economic activities of the Lake Victoria Basin. However, over the past few years, there has been a significant increase in road accidents along a section of the A1 road, particularly between Ranen and Awendo Town Centre, resulting in numerous casualties. Many of these accidents are attributed to speeding, careless overtaking by motorists, and lack of dedicated pedestrian pathways. The Highway also traverses areas with densely populated schools, with students, teachers and staff frequently using the road to access their institutions. Therefore, the lack of pedestrian pathways poses a grave risk to their safety due to the speeding vehicles on the road, necessitating Government intervention to improve road safety along the Isebania-Kisii-Ahero Road."
