    "content": "speed bumps forces drivers to brake abruptly, thus increasing the likelihood of rear-end collisions particularly at night, or in adverse weather conditions. Additionally, the residents are worried about the heightened risk to pedestrians, especially school-going children, as vehicles may swerve unpredictably to avoid the unmarked bumps. Moreover, the vehicle damage caused by sudden impacts with those bumps has placed an unnecessary financial burden on road users. Hon. Deputy Speaker, it is against this background that I request for a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure on the following: 1. Plans to ensure that all bumps that are erected along the Flyover-Njabini- Kipipiri-Olkalou-Nyahururu Road are clearly marked and proper signage is provided. 2. Actions being taken for the provision of proper signage and reflective markers along the Flyover-Njabini-Kipipiri-Olkalou-Nyahururu Road. 3. A report on the exact timeline for marking the bumps and placing signage along the said road. In just one sentence, I want to confirm that in Kipipiri, we have already lost so many souls in a black spot called Jiret, near Kariamu. We recently lost the Principal of Kiambogo Secondary School. We have lost many lives, particularly near Kinangop. I know the Member of Parliament for that area will be speaking. The contractor who maintained that road left the road in such a dangerous state. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker."
