    "content": "roadblocks that the vehicle passed through. We are losing too many Kenyans carelessly on our roads. I was in Mombasa recently. I had a discussion with some tourists. They told me that people from their country—I will not mention the name of the country—are now scared of coming to Kenya because they lose their people on our roads. It is a bigger picture even losing tourism because of our careless or reckless driving on our roads. The issue of accidents in this country is a matter that the Government needs to take seriously. I do not think it will take too much to regulate our driving. I use Thika Road. When people hear there are either speed cameras or police along the way, they behave well. Time has come for this country to invest heavily in road safety. We also need to control and regulate our driving schools because we have some funny driving schools in this country. We know it is easy to get a driving licence even without going to any driving school. You get a driving licence within a day in Kenya yet you have not gone to a driving school. Life is sacred. We have lost too many people. As a country, we need to take the issue of accidents seriously. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I support the Motion, and I ask that the Nithi Bridge be an urgent issue for this Government. Thank you."
