Communication lines are very critical. Sometimes back in Baringo, I tried to bring emergency numbers for fire, police and other areas. But there is a big problem because of lack of awareness. Our people do not know the importance of these numbers. I think when the Committee comes up with a Report, it should ensure there is public participation; so that our people are aware of these numbers when they have emergencies. Even in other countries they have toll-free numbers on highways. For us if an accident happens on the road, there should be a number which someone can call and be rescued very fast so that our people do not die just like that. I support the Petition by the Hon. Member and we need to come up with a systematic way of engaging the Government so they can bring those numbers into use. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."}
