STORYLINE:
Kenyan President William Ruto on Wednesday launched a five-year road safety action plan as the country seeks to curb the rising number of fatalities and injuries on its roads.
The strategy aims to reduce the annual road accidents in the east African nation by over 50 percent, Ruto said as he unveiled the National Road Safety Action Plan 2024-2028 in Nairobi, the capital.
At least 3,500 people are killed and over 20,000 critically injured on Kenyan roads every year, and most of the victims are pedestrians, according to the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA).
Ruto said all "black spots" on major highways and roads in Kenya will be fitted with cameras to monitor drive
