    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this Petition, which I support. The construction of roads in Kenya seems to fall short of the standards that we should set or include. I support the petitioner and add that as we construct the roads in Kenya, we need to know that there are more pedestrians than drivers. It is important that as we design the road networks, every contractor must provide spaces for pedestrians and Persons With Disabilities (PWD). This standard is normally short-changed by most contractors. I believe the law provides for it, but its enforcement is not taken seriously. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I urge CS, Murkomen to take this matter seriously. He should know that roads are not made for vehicles, but for people. Many accidents that we have are not caused by vehicles, but lack of provision for pedestrians’ walkways. As I speak about vehicles and roads, I suggest we start monitoring the true standards of building roads to ensure we accommodate all possible road users including animals, in some areas. I support."
