"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. From the outset, I support this Adjournment Motion. What is happening on our roads is very sad. I disagree with Hon. Atandi. It is not the Government; it is the drivers on the roads. Reckless drivers have no permission from the Government. They are not representing anyone but themselves. We have NTSA officials and policemen on the roads taking bribes. They are not taking them on behalf of the Government. They are placed there to do their job. It is shameful that we have reported accidents on our roads. Recently, we lost students from Kenyatta University who were on their way to Mombasa. We have lost many Kenyans through reckless driving. It is high time we reviewed drivers and put stringent measures in place to prevent drunk driving. We need to ensure that drivers undergo some form of mental evaluation. It seems that there are people with suicidal tendencies driving on our roads. We must ensure that unroadworthy vehicles are also removed from the roads. It is also good culture for the drivers on our roads to have courtesy and some element of self-control. More often than not, you find a driver does not want to give way to another. Everybody is in a rush and this is not how it should be."
