    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to add my voice to what my colleagues have said. I will start by supporting your statement on abduction and killing of Daniel Muthiani, alias Snipper, in Meru. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as a mother of sons, it breaks my heart to see our young men, who are create employment for themselves by creating content and blogging, being abducted and killed, yet no immediate action is taken. They say justice delayed, is justice denied. Why has it taken so long for this matter to be concluded and for the perpetrators to be brought to book? Something similar happened elsewhere and the matter was concluded. Why is it that when it comes to Meru, it takes too long? It really concerns me to see that Meru is always on the spot for wrong things. We had the Governor of Meru County twice in this House for wrong reasons. Now, we are discussing about Meru because of justice delayed to Snipper. I urge the Ministry for Interior and National Administration and our friend, Hon. (Prof.) Kindiki, who is a neighbour to Meru County, to make sure that action is taken immediately. The perpetrators should be brought to book, so that justice is served to the family. They include the wife, parents, relatives and friends of Daniel Muthiani alias Sniper. As a House, if we allow this to continue, we do not know who is next. We do not know the other young man who is going to be taken, killed and things swept under the carpet. We need quick action to bring this issue to conclusion. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, allow me to also comment on the issue of accidents on our roads. That is to do with a Statement that was brought by the Senator for Mombasa County. It is of great concern that there is a lot of disorder on our roads, especially the menace brought by boda boda operators. I would call them rogue boda boda operators. The accidents that happen could mainly be because of drunk drivers, fatigued drivers, drivers who bought their driving licenses and drivers who go to shoddy driving schools that are run in this country. We need some order. I call upon the NTSA to move with speed as well to call drivers in this country to order by scrutinizing their licenses. Even if drivers require refresher courses, that should be done to ensure that we curb several accidents. Other causes of accidents could be as a result of state of the roads or our discipline on the roads. It is important for action to be taken in this country, to ensure that we save lives of people, like what happened to the 11 students of Kenyatta University (KU). I pass my condolences to the bereaved families. I thank you. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
