"content": "where accidents happen, there are cameras available which are used by the police most of the time. Unfortunately, we have never used the said cameras to deter bad driving. It is exactly what Sen. Veronica Maina has said. People need to be fined and have their licenses withdrawn. It needs to cost you some money when you make a simple mistake such as going 10 kmph above the requisite speed limit in a particular part of the road. When people begin to feel the pinch, then they will learn good driving habits. It is simple. It is a promise which I had hoped he would execute within the first three months of his being in office. I demand my good friend, the CS, that there can be no other way. Countries that have brought down road carnage have leveraged on technology to ensure that bad drivers are first fined and eventually blacklisted from driving on public roads. There are no shortcuts to this. Until people begin to pay for their sins, they will not stop the bad habit of reckless driving. We can put speed bumps and all the infrastructure we are talking about, but unless and until we eventually crack the whip on bad drivers, unfortunately, we shall continue to see heartbreaking results. In this day and age, when you leave for your workplace, you are not assured whether the roads you are using are safe for use. I hope our former colleague and Senate Majority Leader emeritus, is watching and listening to the sentiments of his former colleagues in this House. Together with the NTSA, they should give us a solution in the quickest time possible."
