    "content": "Hon. Speaker, that Petition is merited. It is a Petition that is sound. I happen to know that road network. When I was still in the corporate world, I used to live in Thika Town, some years back. I, therefore, know that area very well. The Committee concerned should expedite that Petition for it to yield some results. The question one would want to ask is: How comes the agencies tasked with the duty of doing roads like Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA), Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA) and Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA) cannot to prioritise such roads; that they have to wait to be probed by Petitioners and by this House? The fact that that area is notorious for traffic jams is something which is of public notoriety. I am sure relevant agencies are aware. Even as we process this Petition, let the agencies concerned wake up from their slumber and proactively, deal with such cases. I have a case in point in my constituency where we used to lose people every other day through road accidents on account of lack of speed bumps. It took a long time for the relevant agencies to come in and put those bumps."
