    "content": "The only thing that those citizens who were seated in the bus succeeded to do was to take pictures and share them on social media and ask the Cabinet Secretary what he was doing about the driver who was chewing sugar-cane and abdicating his responsibility. They would have taken the responsibility of stopping that driver directly from what he was doing. We cannot be helpless, when our lives are involved. The driver overtakes vehicles. He overtakes vehicles in Salgaa, Nakuru and Gilgil recklessly. However, you are inside the vehicle cheering and telling him to do it faster because you must arrive in Nairobi as fast as possible. This is abdicating your responsibility to ensure that you are carried safely. If it starts with us, it will become easier for us to deal with the question of risk. However, there is a responsibility for the police. We can take judicial notice that bribery is a menace that we have been unable to eradicate on our roads. What is the Ministry doing? We are gradually replacing human monitoring of the roads with technology. That is why I said that the black spots, including Nithi Bridge, will, in the next two to three months, have a camera in the piloting stage so that all of us can monitor vehicles as they pass through those spots. Slowly, we will not need to have police officers manning all roads and gradually, from a command centre, we will be able to catch those who are committing traffic offences using technology."
