Kenya, 15 November 2026 - Kenya’s National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) Director General Eng Nahashon Kondiwa on Sunday led Kenyans in marking the World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims.
In collaboration with religious leaders, NTSA led various activities, including a solemn tribute to the departed at the Remembrance Wall at Jaramogi Sports Ground.
“The wall stands as a symbol of remembrance, reflection and honour, providing a space to pay tribute to those who have lost their lives. Each name represents a life, a family, a story and a future cut short,” NTSA posted on X.
NTSA urged Kenyans, as they remember those who lost their lives in road carnage, to renew their collective commitment to promoting road safety, responsible road use and protecting every life on the roads.
Road fatalities shatter many dreams, leaving families reeling from a loss too painful to bear, while the injured grapple with the pain and anguish of hospital bills to cover their treatment.
Across the counties, activities were heightened in Mombasa, Trans Nzoia and Nakuru, where residents joined NTSA and county officials in remembrance processions. At Iguha, a candle-lighting event was held to remember the victims.
The NTSA boss was in Kisumu, where a procession was held from Mamboleo blackspot to Jaramogi Sports Ground. Eng Kondiwa addressed the participants who had gathered there, reaffirming the Authority’s unwavering commitment to enhancing road safety and protecting all road users. He underscored the importance of collective responsibility in preventing road crashes, saving lives and making roads safer for everyone.

NTSA appreciated the advocates who use their voices to create awareness, the social media influencers who champion road safety, and the volunteers who teach children to cross safely, call out reckless driving and stand up for every life on the road.
In Nairobi, road safety activities included clearly marking zebra crossings where pedestrians can cross safely.
Matatu saccos were not left behind, as Forward Travellers SACCO joined NTSA in commemorating the day. Through its Chairman, Paul Thiongo, the Sacco said it remembers those who lost their lives in road crashes, stands with survivors and extends its heartfelt condolences to affected families.
“Today, Forward Travellers SACCO joins NTSA Kenya in commemorating World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims, 15th November 2026. We remember those who lost their lives in road crashes, stand with survivors, and extend our heartfelt condolences to affected families,” Thiongo stated.
He said every candle lit in remembrance should be a reminder that every life matters and road safety is everyone’s responsibility. He urged Kenyans to remember, support and act.
