"content": "Transportation of miraa from Meru to Nairobi has increasingly become associated with reckless driving, excessive speeding and a troubling pattern of fatal accidents involving both pedestrians and motorists. The urgent need to deliver this highly perishable crop to Nairobi markets has fostered a culture of impunity among miraa transporters, who often disregard traffic regulations, speed limits and law enforcement instructions. This conduct is in direct contravention of the Traffic Act (Cap. 403), which governs road safety and driver behaviour. Specifically, section 42 of the Act prohibits driving in a dangerous manner to the public. The Act also grants law-enforcement agencies the authority to arrest and prosecute those who breach traffic laws, authority that seems to be blatantly undermined by operators of miraa vehicles."
