[kictanet] Statistics on Kenya Road Accidents

[Francis Hook]

If the ICT Board were to delve into this, then there's no saying what
statistics they should NOT publish - cost of agri inputs, rainfall, tourist
arrivals, migration patterns of birds? hmm?   I think its enough that the
board has part of its mandate to computerise different
ministries/departments/etc and then at their level such issues can be taken
up (min of tourism, KTB, Kenya Police, min of agric. etc etc).

That aside, perhaps AKI might be a good resource for such statistics since
MVs invariably have to be the cause of or be involved in an accident
(pedestrian, cyclist, motorist...building, etc)...
