    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to appear before this august House to answer these Questions. Indeed, we have nine Questions but as it will appear later, I will demonstrate that the nine Questions have sub shot to three topics. Therefore, the rest of the issues that are related to pending roads can be collapsed and answered together. Hon. Speaker, on this particular Question allow me to appreciate Hon. Joyce Kamene for it. I want to note for the good of the House that indeed we have a challenge in the country when dealing with matters related or touching on pedestrians. Statistics from the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) show that we lost 1,383, 1,557 and 1,682 pedestrians in the years 2020, 2021 and 2022 respectively. It is saddening that we continue losing lives as a result of lack of infrastructure and sometimes recklessness on the roads. The reasons are because of inadequate facilities for non- motorised traffic including cycling and footpaths. In this case the Ministry has prioritised incorporation of non-motorised transport as part of National Transport Policy.
