"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I take this opportunity to thank the House for supporting this Motion. I beg to move: THAT, pursuant to Standing Order 33(1), I rise to seek leave for adjournment of the House to discuss a definite matter of urgent national importance regarding the surge of road accidents in the country. The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) recently released a report providing statistical data on the current road safety situation in the country. According to the Report, 7,192 Kenyans have been involved in road accidents within the last three months of 2024, marking a significant rise of accidents compared to the same period in 2023. It is disheartening that at least 1,189 lives were tragically lost in the accidents. These statistics highlight the troubling state of road accidents in the country, which require urgent intervention. While acknowledging efforts by the Ministry of Roads and Transport in the last few days, much more needs to be done, including the full implementation of traffic laws and policies to ensure road safety. It is against this background that I seek leave for the Adjournment of the House to discuss this matter of national concern with a view to exploring possible and lasting solutions."
