The High Court has declined to stop the usage of alco-blow
breathalyzer introduced by the government to stop drunk driving in a
move to curb road accidents.
In her ruling Friday morning, judge Mumbi Ngugi said that lives of
Kenyans should be protected by all means adding that drunk driving had
claimed many innocent lives.
However, the petitioner has filed a substantive submission on the case scheduled for hearing on March 10th, 2014. The application was filed by Richard Ogenda through his lawyer lawyer Gitobu Imanyara.
Meanwhile, a cross section of Kenyans have expressed mixed reactions following the court ruling.
Some of those who spoke to KBC supported the court ruling saying
alco-blow will help in reducing road carnage while others were
disappointed arguing that use of alco-blow is killing the Bar and
entertainment businesses.
