Following a string of deadly accidents along the Nakuru-Nairobi highway-between the Kamandura junction off the Mai Mahiu road and Ngarariga in Limuru-members of the Limuru Pastors Association and Kikuyu elders have conducted prayers to cleanse the road.

This comes after 12 people lost their lives within a record 24 hours. Another seven died earlier this week at the same spot when a private matatu overturned along the section. The cause of the accident is yet to be established.
