Kenyan President William Ruto recently launched the National Road Safety Action Plan 2024-2028 at the Kenya International Conference Center in Nairobi. The plan aims to reduce road accidents through infrastructure improvements, a zero-tolerance policy towards negligence, and the use of modern traffic monitoring technologies. Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen highlighted the role of vehicular telematics in preventing tampering with speed governors, a common cause of speeding, and identified recklessness and issues in the boda boda sector as major causes of accidents. Additionally, the government plans to intensify surveillance at major junctions and accident-prone areas. President Ruto emphasized the importance of reducing road accident numbers and warned CS Murkomen of consequences if improvements are not seen.
