The Matatu Owners Association has expressed grave concerns over road safety in Mtito Andei following a tragic accident that left 24 people dead. At a press conference on Monday, October 26, 2026, at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, MOA chairman Albert Karakacha warned that the government must address the dangerous sections of the highway urgently.

The association's urgent call for action has been amplified by the mounting death toll, which now stands at 24 after two additional fatalities were confirmed in the hospital following the collision between a church bus and a lorry along the Nairobi-Mombasa Highway on Sunday, October 25, 2026.
Karakacha emphasized that continued accidents are placing immense pressure on matatu operators and could ultimately be blamed on them if the road conditions are not improved.
