In the first 13 days of August, Kenya saw 23 road crashes, resulting in 31 fatalities and 75 serious injuries, according to the Kenya Red Cross. The organization attributed the high number of deaths to factors such as speeding, dangerous overtaking, and driver fatigue. The Kenya Red Cross is advocating for lower speed limits of 30 km/h in areas with high pedestrian activity, such as schools, markets, and residential areas, to protect vulnerable road users.
They are also urging motorists to exercise caution and adopt safe driving practices to prevent further loss of lives on the roads.
