    "content": "THAT, aware that the Kenya Roads Act of 2007 mandates the various road authorities to, among other functions, control roads and road reserves, and access to roadside developments; further aware that market centres are ordinarily constructed along road developments across the country; noting that due to improper planning some marketplaces have no access roads, leading buyers and traders to encroach on the roads and road reserves; further noting that there have been instances of accidents leading to multiple deaths due to this unregulated use of road developments; appreciating that proper access roads to market places would ease access by buyers and thereby avert accidents due to the converging of traders and buyers on roadsides, thus enhancing road safety and service delivery while providing opportunities for economic engagement for the traders; now, therefore, this House resolves that the Government, through the Ministry of Transport, Infrastructure, Housing, Urban Development and Public Works develops a framework to ensure that where market centres exist along road developments, appropriate access is provided, including service lanes and access roads. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
