BASIC ROAD SAFETY STATISTICS

In Kenya alone [according to the Kenya Traffic Police
 Department] we recorded 3,144 fatalities for the year
 2013, this number is higher than the deaths that were
 recorded during the post-election violence in 2007/8,
 1,000 lives were lost during those trying times. With
 such staggering statistics, in comparison to PEV, we
 re-live that by recording three times the number of 
deaths as a result of Road Traffic Crashes, it is 
equivalent to 3 Post Elections annually. These are 
genocide statistics, on our roads. The good thing is
 that these trends can be reversed and prevented.
 Time for Action time is now, not tomorrow, not a day after that not even an hour later. We need this to 
pass, Kenya needs this and the world needs this.
