According to the Economic Survey 2024 by the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS), the road transportation sector generated Ksh.2.6 billion in 2023, with passenger traffic contributing Ksh.1.4 billion.
Despite its popularity, road travel comes with significant risks. The survey reported 9,960 road accidents in 2023, resulting in 10,762 serious injuries.
A Solution for Greater Peace of Mind
The new partnership between mTek and BuuPass addresses these risks by providing an added layer of security for travelers.
With the ability to protect themselves and their assets against unforeseen expenses, such as costly medical bills and potential disabilities, mTek says Kenyans will enjoy greater peace of mind during their travels.
