“This is completely unacceptable. Will take administrative action."

Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja has vowed to take disciplinary action on a Nairobi County lorry driver who was caught on camera using the wrong side of the road.

In an update on Wednesday, August 30, Sakaja said he will not allow drivers violating the law to go scot-free.

The Nairobi County boss noted that his administration cannot be penalizing boda boda riders and motorists while county staff are violating rules.

“This is completely unacceptable. Will take administrative action. Thanks for sharing. We can’t be penalizing Boda Boda guys and drivers violating the law while our own are doing the same. Will share action taken,” said Sakaja.

In a video shared by Activist Boniface Mwangi, the Nairobi County driver can be seen blocking motorists at the Kenyatta Avenue.

Mwangi shouted at the driver telling him he was wrong but the driver ignored him.

“Transport CS Kipchumba Murkomen and IG_NPS need to pronounce themselves on how government, county, parastatals and politicians’ vehicles use the road. This is a Nairobi County lorry on the wrong side blocking Kenyatta Avenue. He is likely in a hurry to go sell water,” the activist tweeted after the incident.
