Bishop Githinji condemned the acts of drivers, conductors and other road users consuming alcohol, bhang among other drugs before driving and thus driving carelessly and causing deaths. He said that they will ensure they sensitize the road users to the road deaths.

He has urged the drivers to avoid consuming any kind of drug whilst driving mostly during this festive season. He called for responsible road suing from Kenyans.
