Law allows you to sue government for dangerous roads, accidents May 30th 2021 at 18:00:00 GMT +0300
A court recently ordered the Kenya National Highways Authority (KenHa) to pay lawyer Ahmednasir Abdullahi Sh750,311 for damages that occurred on his Bentley Bentyaga while driving on a key road under repair.
In his suit, Senior Counsel Abdullahi argued that the workers failed to put up appropriate signs warning motorists of danger on the stretch of the highway that was being re-carpeted. Shrapnel hit and shattered the windscreen of his high-end car at a section of the Nairobi – Namanga highway on August 25, 2018.
Senior Magistrate Edwin Mulochi found KenHa guilty of negligence and ordered that it compensates the Senior Counsel for the damages.
