Super Metro should be suspended and fined heavily by NTSA now.
And before anyone says this is just one incident, it isn’t. It’s a pattern.
In August 2018, along Ngara/Thika Road, a passenger, Modoni Washira, was reportedly pushed from a moving bus after a dispute over change.
At Kahawa Sukari, another passenger lost his life after being ejected during a KSh 30 fare disagreement, an incident that led to a temporary NTSA suspension.
In March 2025, Gilbert Thuo Kimani reportedly died after being pushed from a moving super metro bus, which ended up crushing his skull.
And now,in February 2026, 25-year-old Joseph Mureithi has died following an incident involving a moving Super Metro bus in Kitengela, which ended up crushing his skull.
Notice something? The 2025 and 2026 cases are almost identical, and both happened after previous disciplinary action.
Which raises a difficult question: if suspensions keep happening but the behavior continues, are the penalties strong enough to matter?
Public transport companies are supposed to vet, train, and supervise their crews. When the same kind of tragedy keeps recurring, responsibility cannot rest only on individual drivers or touts.
Kenyans are not cargo. No one should risk their life simply to get home.
If safety violations keep costing less than compliance, nothing will change.
