    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I wish to ride on that to add to what the Member for Westlands has said. Outer Ring Road has now become one of the most dangerous roads for pedestrians who are crossing. There is also Kangundo Road which is undergoing expansion and Mama Lucy Hospital is on one side. People and children have to cross the road from the other side. What measures will the Ministry be willing to undertake to mitigate the dangers, before they do the footbridges, especially on Kangundo Road? They could consider using Performance Based Contracts (PBC) and put traffic marshals who can help assist the sick people who are crossing to Mama Lucy and some of the children who are crossing to the other side. For the Outer Ring Road, while the footbridges are there, the lighting is the issue. Vandals vandalise the lights. We have tried to engage KURA and the Ministry to tell them that we have to come up with innovative ways of lighting these bridges using PBC. That will provide some security on those footbridges so that people stop crossing the road at night and end up getting hit."
