The importance of roads in the day-to-day lives of citizens cannot be overemphasized as they are a critical infrastructure enabling ease of movement of people and goods. Unfortunately, many of our roads are in poor condition, characterized by large potholes, inadequate or nonexistent road signs and insufficient markings. The state of our roads has impacted users and the country at large negatively, most notably the increase in road accidents. We acknowledge that while many road accidents are caused by over-speeding, reckless driving, loss of control by drivers and drunk driving, as exemplified by the recent Mbagathi River accident, where a Nairobi-bound NABOKA Sacco bus plunged into the river, resulting in nine fatalities. The dilapidated condition of our roads has also significantly contributed to numerous accidents across the country. I take this opportunity to extend my condolences to the family of the Mbagathi River accident victims. 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."
