What is lacking in the country is a culture on which road safety can thrive, if road users understand the cost of their actions or inactions both at the personal and national level. The World Health Organisation (WHO), back in 2014, estimated that Kenya loses about 5 percent of its GDP or Kshs387.5 billion to traffic crashes. The figure was expected to rise and The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
