A disturbing photo of a woman with a little girl pulling off a Mkokoteni dangerously on the road has pulled on mixed reactions from the concerned citizens.
She is not only floating major traffic rules but endangering her life, her daughters and other road users in the busy city of Nairobi.
On the other hand, the woman is also looking for her bread of life in order to survive with her daughter. It was very difficult for the netcitizens to draw a clear line whether the woman was wrong or right to do what she did.
Here is their mixed reactions
Privilege sees the traffic rules and not the struggle. Damn you and your rules which you break with reckless abandon to strike deals and even loot and kill if need be.

@Ma3Route @KenyanTraffic @ntsa_kenya this can't be glorified, the kid is innocent & being dangerously exposed to oncoming vehicular traffic. I can't glorify impunity, we have traffic laws.

When we go to bug bananas or items from such ,we start bargaining to the lowest prices yet we do not bargain in supermarkets…..we need to be fair

When I see such a picture I feel helpless because I want to do something to enable that woman get a good return for her hard work and take care of her children the best way she knows how, but I don't know what I can do 😭😭

That is criminal and very dangerous on the road. Whoever accepted this should be arrested and charged with traffic offense. Stop rewarding impunity.
