Five years later, Kui’s case is yet to be heard in court,” said Ms Monyenye, adding, “This delay highlights the systemic challenges victims’ families continue to face in their pursuit of justice.”Every third Sunday of November, the world comes together to observe the World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims.This day is dedicated to honouringthe lives lost in road traffic crashes and standing in solidarity with survivors and families whose lives have been forever changed.It is both a moment of remembrance and a call to action, one that urges societies to reflect on the true cost of road carnage and the responsibility we all share in preventing it.In Kenya, road traffic fatalities remain alarmingly high. There is an urgent need for sustained road safety education, stronger policy enforcement, and accountability from relevant authorities.Justice delayed is justice denied, and remembering those we have lost must go hand in hand with meaningful action to ensure safer roads and timely justice for all road users and their families.Follow The Standard
