(a) I am not aware that poor design has been the cause of accidents at Salgaa/Sachangwan on the Nakuru-Eldoret Road. Indeed, majority of the accidents on our roads are being attributed to human error. (b) Previously, there was a concern that a tight curve on the above mentioned spot was the cause of the accidents. During the reconstruction of the Njoro Turn-Off to Timboroa section, my Ministry realigned the section of the road and removed the tight curve. We have also significantly widened the road to enhance safety of the motorists. I have a list of the accidents that have occurred there in the last one year, which was supplied to the Ministry by Rongai Police Station. Indeed, as I have already indicated, over 95 per cent of the accidents on this section of the road are caused by human error."}
