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).
In the best interests of Kenyans, I think the ICT board should pick this up and oversee frequent publication of such statistics of accidents, where they happened and if possible probable causes and companies involved.On 1 April 2011 10:47, <eonchari@lynxbits.com> wrote:The force is ill equipped (technology & skill wise) to gather such data, but I still think there is hope. Why not create a framework (with income as an incentive) for "Gen Y" crowd etc to create such content?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
