Declare road safety a national disaster Road crashes have reached a national emergency level, with about 20,000 crashes claiming over 5,000 lives annually, destroying families, overwhelming our health system and eroding economic productivity. As an Authority, we propose that road traffic crashes be declared a national disaster to mobilise urgent government action, secure adequate funding and ensure coordinated enforcement. Such a declaration would enable whole-of-government coordination under clear accountability, and enforce measurable targets across road agencies, the National Police Service, the health sector and county governments. Our goal is simple: save lives, reduce fatalities and serious injuries, and protect Kenya's human capital. Road safety is not just a transport issue; it is a national development and security priority. With everyone's support, we can avert this disaster. DIRECTOR GENERAL @TransportKE
