    "content": "until the then President ordered that we have a dual carriageway. It was not as beautiful as it is now, but when that dual carriageway was built, I remember there were very few accidents recorded between Nairobi and Thika for a long time and if there were any, they were minor accidents. But at that time, they were always fatal; and most of them were head on collisions because of the narrowness of the road then and the overtaking that goes along with it. I do not know what happens to other drivers; they are so crazy about overtaking and they are in a hurry to get somewhere. Similarly, there were always constant accidents between Nairobi and Limuru until sometime back when that dual carriageway was done, and after that, we have heard of very few accidents. There is something that is good about dual carriageways – whether it comes from Mombasa to Nairobi or from Nairobi to Kisumu, to Busia and on to Malaba – because they just reduce the risk of head on collisions. Head on collisions are one of the most painful things that you are confronted with on a daily basis as you drive on our roads. I wish we will put money in our highways and just expand the capacity so that we can be safe. Every country that wants to develop invests in dual carriageways."
