Media personality and influencer Caroline Mutoko was on the receiving end of the rage of Kenyans on Twitter (KOT) yesterday after a statement she made concerning matatus using the newly-built Nairobi Expressway.

Caroline commented on a video shared about the recent accident on the express way.

She wrote; "Wait…we now have matatus on the expressway? Courting trouble…"

Some people who commented on the post suggested that Caroline was creating a social class division between the rich and the poor.

But through a video on her YouTube, Caroline told off netizens who trolled her after the comment on Twitter.

Caroline explained that she meant the fact that most PSVs are prone to overspeeding on the roads, and allowing them into the Expressway could expose passengers and other road users to dangers.

She went on to state that there was no problem with PSVs being in the Expressway, but on condition that their speed governors are back on.

"I want to talk about the myopia of anybody thinking that my concern about PSVs being on the Expressway is about PSVs. It is about the fact that as a people we are indisciplined, as Nairobians we are grossly indisciplined, PSVs in Nairobi are massively indisciplined. We are courting trouble," she noted.

Caroline added that most Kenyans drives carelessly threatening innocent lives.

"Stop giving nonsense, when I say we are courting trouble, we are, and you know am right. Shame on you for making this about anything but lives. This is about lives and the fact that we are blood-letting on this Expressway. Kabla we wake up and get serious, tutaua wengi," she warned.

Adding;

"You will not get me to back down on one thing, that having PSVs on the Expressway without insisting they have speed governors is courting trouble and this cannot be about the vehicles, this is about the passengers," she said.

She asked Kenyans to be more vigilant when using the expressway otherwise the accidents would still occur.

"We cannot be trusted to behave. We have already proved it, I don’t know how many times Mlolongo is going to be built and rebuilt. In this country and in this city, PSVs, tunangoja siku ile gari itatoka uko juu, iende chini, mark my words."
