Didmus Barasa requested for a Statement on increased road carnage and implementation of mitigation measures on road accidents by the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA). The Hon. Member specifically requested to be informed on: 1. The major causes of road accidents in the country as investigated by NTSA and National Police Service (NPS). 2. The mitigation measures being undertaken. 3. The mandate of NTSA with regards to reducing road carnage and actions on police investigations and whether corrective actions are acted upon and implemented. I wish to state as follows. Road crashes are broadly caused by human component error, road and road environment and the vehicle component. In Kenya, human error contributes to 85 per cent of the causes of road clashes which is attributed to the drivers and riders. The remainder of the causes of road clashes is contributed by road and road environment and the vehicle component. The specific causes include speeding, driver fatigue, driver road user attitude, driver road user inattention and distraction, driver impairment, tailgating, in experience in driver, road condition, bad weather and vehicle condition. The Government is undertaking the following measures and interventions to mitigate against road accidents: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
