Kenya neglects road safety as carnage soars
Nairobi – Kenya
The Kenya government and roads infrastructure funding organisations have come under fire for neglecting road safety education, while spending billions of dollars on killer super highways.
The level of negligence is shocking to many Kenyans, who vividly remember that their president Mwai Kibaki was sworn-in on 29 December 2002, in a wheelchair having narrowly cheated death in a road accident.

Michuki Was the Bad Guys' Good Guy, and He Was Not Afraid to Take Action
Yet, you have the ultimate irony. Michuki's weaknesses and failings made him easily the most effective of President Mwai Kibaki's ministers.
African politicians and public servants are notoriously incompetent. They talk, talk, and talk, and do little or nothing.
Michuki seemed to believe that he had rather be blamed for doing the wrong thing than doing nothing.
Outside of Rwanda, one of the few African countries that was able to crack down on the road madness that kills thousands of people every year, and the insanity of the matatu or daladala industry, was Kenya.
And then, only between 2004 and 2006, the period when he was still Transport minister and decided to deal with the problem.
The matatu industry is the most difficult to tame in Africa because there are too many vested interests.
Often ministers own matatus, traffic police officers, who are supposed to enforce road rules are matatu owners, small and big and ruling officials are into matatus.
