NTSA still has work to do to make roads safe

NTSA report states that the cases of road crashes have gone down by 1,628 compared to last year when 9,236 were highlighted as at August 27, 2016.

Statistics provided by the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) paint a gloomy picture of the situation on Kenyan roads.

They show that the number of motorcyclists who have died on the roads by the September 3, 2017 count has dropped compared to the same time last year. NTSA figures show that 320 cyclists have died so far compared to 355 who lost their lives by the same period in 2016; only a difference of 35 considering a single life lost is one too many.
