Does the board's mandate include overseeing of all GOK ICT projects, or just advise? If it is, then they should publish such info with relative ease.<br>

<div style="border-left: 2px solid black; padding-left: 5px;"> 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). <div> <br>
</div><div>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)...</div><div><br>

</div><div>I beg to differ. I remember a time listening to KBC Kiswahili Service and someone from the Police Traffic department came every Friday and broke down previous weeks accidents by province including casualties and fatalities, and i do not think he was making this up</div> </span></div> <br>
