"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we want drivers in the matatu industry to be retrained, if possible because the recklessness which they have--- We have found that they can no longer control the speed using the gadgets. The gadgets no longer work. Even the ones the police usually have on the roads are just but toy guns. The police are using toys on our roads and lying to us that you have been over-speeding. Let us ask the Minister to remove those gadgets which encourage a lot of corruption on our roads. If you have Kshs200 even if you are speeding at 200 kilometers per hour where we do not have a road for that speed in this country, you will just get away with it. We need discipline and a code of driving in this driving. You will find a whole trailer in a dual carriage way using the inner lane or whichever lane thereby hindering all other vehicles from moving. We need to regulate our roads where we have dual carriage ways so that we know at what speed we need to use the inner and the outer lane. It has worked in other countries but here, it does not work because we are so indisciplined. We just feel like we own the whole road; you cross from one side to the other and even if you cause an accident, after two days, the insurance will pay you. It is time that we put together the rules which the insurance industry should follow when compensating their clients because some people cause accidents willfully to make sure that their vehicle is written off so that they get money. It is time we made the highway regulations well."
