On Migaa accident, the problem seem to have been on the bus driver. They rammed head on, he was driving on the wrong side & evidently at a high speed.
It trickles down to driver behaviours on this road & lack of consequences on breaking traffic rules, if caught, bribe & go. pic.twitter.com/VAtrcvSYtQ

The road is not necessarily the problem, its the character & quality of our drivers, drove a week ago to & fro Nai to Eld. Road properly marked, bumps where necessarily but lane indiscipline very rampant, You see a fool overtaking on a yellow continuous line on a corner #Migaa
