"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like him to address the issue of the training standards for PSV drivers in Kenya, given the importance of human life. I also want him to address the road conditions that contribute to the carnage on the roads of Kenya, both in terms of the quality of the build of the road, as well as obstructions, either by natural cause by our not giving enough clearance on the road reserves or caused by vehicles that have stalled and which can be repaired on the road. You will realize that you can repair a truck on a Kenyan road for 24 hours without having to move it because nobody cares. This is a hazard to road users. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, further, I wish him to address the issue that we have seen more recently; of tankers rolling and fuel leaking and Kenyans die. We can keep pleading with Kenyans not to go and collect that fuel, but unfortunately they will still go. So, it is important that we protect them by bringing standards that exist in other countries. For example, there are tankers which have generally been made so that when they roll, they do not leak. Again, these are building standards for the bodies that constitute the tankers. What is the Government doing to also take care of these issues? Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish that the Prime Minister could address this issue as a matter of urgency and of national concern and also explain whether he finds it necessary to call a genuine national stakeholdersâ conference, where the issue can be discussed and a way forward found."
