    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. I will quickly comment on the Statement by Sen. (Dr.) Murango of Kirinyaga about the roads in Ngurubani Town. I support this Statement because we have had towns that come up every other day that were not previously planned for. In my county, we have Kenol and Kabati. The Government should be responsive because it cares for its people so that when a town springs up, it should provide the necessary road network, sewer lines, water and other amenities. The Government has the Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA) and it should be responsive to this. Every other town that springs up should be taken care of. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, allow me to also comment on the Statement by Sen. Beth Syengo on the safety of learners on the roads. This could not have come at a better time because about two weeks ago, we lost a number of students from Kenyatta University (KU). My concern is that, sometimes the drivers of institutional buses are not used to long distances. There should be a good programme that will ensure learners of either universities or lower levels are safe on our roads. The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) should see to it that the buses are designed to transport students and the drivers are trained for long distance journeys. 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."
