Road Safety Association of Kenya was established in 2013, by like-minded individuals, drawn from the corporate sector. This came at a time when road accidents were a norm in Kenya. It was apparent then that, the corporate were the most affected, by loss of skilled manpower, financial implications and time loss. As they say prevention is better than cure, and to nip this in the bud RSAK was formed. It served as a platform to advocate for Road safety. However, they realized earlier on, unless action was taken correctively by the government, members of the public and private sector, things would not change.
Over the years, they have lobbied, provided civic education and taken to task, regulatory Authorities, charged with keeping Kenya's safe on our roads. To date, we are over 150 corporate members and still counting. Our mission is to advice the government agencies where necessary on matters road safety.
