Fatalities January 1 to June 30 on major Nairobi roads; Over 134,000 crashes occur on the Kenyan roads killing more than 4,600 and seriously injuring 11,000 people annually. This is shocking but what is more shocking is that major Nairobi roads account, at the moment, for 34% of all the fatalities nationwide. Mombasa road (upto Weighbridge): 197 fatalities Ngong road: 133 fatalities Thika Super Highway (upto Ruiru): 216 fatalities Langata road: 88 fatalities Waiyaki way: 61 fatalities Jogoo road: 11 fatalities Juja road: 9 fatalities Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) and the Nairobi City Mortuary recorded two hundred consecutive road traffic fatalities autopsied between May 2013 and June 2013 (140 KNH Mausoleum, 60 Nairobi City Mortuary). The main road-user groups involved were pedestrians (62%), passengers (24%) and drivers (9%). ROAD TRANSPORT DEPARTMENT possunt quia posse videntur

watched a guy survive what would have been otherwise a grisly accident, guy was driving a Nissan Wingroad on Mombasa road, ahead of him was truck, doing abt 80kph, middle lane had a ma3 which was not that fast, i was in the last lane, guy decides to change lanes goes behind the ma3 and overtake the truck, truck hit the wingroad on the driver's side, did a 180 degree turn and faced the truck head-on then while spinning got off the road to the right of the truck, into a ditch and up the other side of the road, only that it did not get to the road tarmac itself, Guy got out and charged at the truck driver who by now had stopped and gotten out, this was just after GM and if he had done that a second earlier, he would have ended on the railway track itself.

reading the kenyredcross twitter thread is realising that something is very wrong in this country. It's like drivers have a death wish and they plan to take others out too. Drive srowry if carefurry is too hard to muster. Afadhali the guys who die, take a walk to the spine centre and you will drive srowry for the rest of your life. Jose: If I make it through this thug life, I'll see you one day. The Lord is the only way to stop the hurt.

This one was really really sad. Innocent Lives. Kimaiyo is set to earn 1.6 million a month in salary and allowances. Isn't that simply crazy! DAILY NATION"Under the pay structure proposed by the National Police Service Commission (NPSC), the Inspector General will earn Sh1,689,500 in allowances in addition to his basic pay. The basic pay for the Inspector-General ranges between Sh655,875 and Sh874,500 and he earns no allowances. However, the maximum pay could rise to Sh1.2 million if the NPSC proposals are adopted. The Inspector-General would get a common allowance of Sh874,500, a house allowance of Sh500,000, an entertainment package of Sh50,000, an ‘extraneous’ allowance of Sh250,000 and Sh150,000 for domestic staff." Set out to correct the world's wrongs and you will most certainly wind up adding to them.

This will surely reduce road accidents and city hoppa muggings. Jubilee gaament it is.  Portfolio: Sold

STOP advocating for SLOW driving..It contributes to more accidents..If you cant match the 80-110KM kindly give room for others, keep left..if need be stop and give way..happened to me ones on a busy two way road, the other driver after noticing my persistence simply pulled over..I offered a sugarcane as a sign of appreciation.
