    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I stand to support this Petition. We are really affected as a country by the loss of lives. Yesterday, I was very unhappy when I saw that some young people who were traveling along Naivasha route were involved in an accident and some of them lost their lives. It is not good for a country not to mind about the loss of young lives. So, I stand to support this Petition and urge our friend the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Roads, Transport and Public Works to ensure that road users are safe; not only when designing the roads, but also adhering to and following road safety rules. In our country, we have a new emerging issue in our country where boda boda riders are major contributor of road accidents. I urge when roads are being designed, we make sure we provide a route for boda boda riders and pavement for pedestrians. This is the only way we can ensure there is safety for everybody in this country. I do not know what entails in the licensing process; do we evaluate and vet drivers after a while? Maybe after six months, there should be fresh vetting to ensure that our drivers are compliant with road rules and regulations. That will ensure the safety of our people. I support the Petition. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
