  "summary": "The National Police Service (NPS) has issued a warning to motorists as schools close for the end-of-year holidays, urging them to adhere to traffic rules due to increased road traffic and potential accidents. NPS Director of Corporate Communication, Muchiri Nyaga, stated that the police, in collaboration with the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA), will intensify public sensitisation and enforcement of traffic regulations, focusing on violations such as speeding, unroadworthy vehicles, overloading, and failure to wear safety belts. Additionally, school transport vehicles will undergo stringent safety checks. Nyaga emphasized the importance of observing speed limits, refraining from driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and avoiding distractions like mobile phone use while driving. Parents and guardians are advised to ensure their children travel only in reputable and roadworthy public service vehicles.",
