Inspect all motor vehicles to reduce road accidents

Numbers don’t lie. Last year alone, 3,057 Kenyans died on our roads. In 2014 the deaths were fewer, at 2,907. Between January and March this year, 827 people died in road accidents across the country. Over the same period, more than 2,105 were injured in road accidents. And of these, more than half were pedestrians. Those are the numbers; depressing but real.

As the country mourns the deaths, families and friends of victims of road carnage have suffered the most; separated for ever from loved ones and bearing many other physical, psychological and economic consequences.
