    "content": "have become an integral part of our transportation system, their widespread use coupled with the practice of carrying oversized and unsecured loads, which violate traffic regulations, poses a danger to all road users. This has led to a significant rise in road accidents. Ordinarily, a load being carrying by a boda boda must be aligned with the rider. It is our responsibility as representatives of the people to address this issue comprehensively. I, therefore, urge the Standing Committee on Roads, Transportation and Housing to collaborate with relevant agencies, law enforcement bodies and stakeholders in the transportation sector to put in place stringent measures aimed at curbing the practice of overloading motorcycles. I further urge the Standing Committee on Health to engage the Ministry of Health to set up emergency medical trauma centres along the Narok-Mai Mahiu Highway and other highways within the Republic of Kenya, to ensure the provision of timely and effective medical response and care to accident victims and those in need of urgent medical attention. I say this noting with regret that it took over two hours for the late Hon. Osiemo to receive the closest medical emergency attention after the accident. May his soul rest in eternal peace."
