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)...

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.

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
