    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I thank Sen. Khaniri for raising this matter that is tragic, sad and has wasted the lives of a family. I condole with that family. I am in solidarity with them and my prayers are for them. Accidents that kill people are so many, particularly on the road that Sen. Khaniri has raised. We have a similar situation in Migori, along the Kisumu-Isibania Road is under construction by Agence Française de Development (AFD). There are certain sections of that road, from Rongo Constituency all the way to Isibania, where there are no signs or bumps along the road. What appear to be bumps are things that are made of murram and are quite high and uneven. There are no sidewalks for people walking along the road and there is no provision for people with disabilities. Last month, accidents were prevalent next to Ranen Market, Komolo Rume Market and Awendo Market and many families lost their loved ones. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as you refer this matter to the relevant Committee, I request that it considers this nationally and finds a lasting solution from Government as to what is being done about signs, bumps and policing along those roads. In Migori County, we harvest and transport cane. Our tractors do not have indicators or anything to indicate that they are tractors. Therefore, when you drive at night along those roads, you may overtake, ram into a tractor and get killed. Therefore, it is important that the prevalent causes of accidents are investigated and a solution provided in Bungoma and other parts of the nation where such accidents are prevalent."
