    "content": "On the issue of helmets being used by motorcycle riders, it is hard to find a rider putting on a helmet, leave alone passengers who are never given helmets. Riders carry excess passengers. They can carry up to four passengers and if you include the rider, it makes them five passengers on one motorcycle. That is against the law. A motorcycle has to carry one person. Most of the vehicles that stall on the roads do not have the reflective triangle hazard signs that guide oncoming traffic to deter accidents. This is something that needs to be checked. The NTSA and the traffic police need to make sure that this is checked. Drunk-driving in Kenya has become very rampant. We need to have strict laws so that people are put behind bars when found drunk-driving. The famous “Michuki rules” need to be brought back. During Michuki’s time people were disciplined. They put on safety belts in their vehicles and observed all the rules that were put in place. If you drive on the highways and dual carriage ways, you will find heavy vehicles keeping right instead of keeping left when they are not overtaking. They block the roads and that causes accidents at times. I submit and congratulate the Mover, Hon. Oscar Nabulindo, for bringing this important Motion."
