Former Government Delivery Unit Head Peter Mbae has criticized the government's response to the Salama road accident that resulted in the death of 17 Catholic pilgrims. Mbae, in a Facebook post, accused government leaders of offering insincere condolences while simultaneously halting the dualization of the Nairobi-Mombasa Highway, which he believes could have prevented the disaster.
The crash occurred on October 3, 2026, involving multiple vehicles, and injured several others. Government leaders, including Roads and Transport Cabinet Secretary Davis Chirchir, have expressed their condolences to the victims' families and the wider community. The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) has launched an investigation to determine the exact circumstances of the fatal multi-vehicle collision. Chirchir urged motorists to drive cautiously and adhere to traffic safety rules.
