    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a statement from the Standing Committee on Roads, Transportation and Housing on a matter of national concern, namely, the safety of passengers in Public Service Vehicles (PSVs) across the country. PSVs are an essential component of Kenya's transport system, relied upon daily by millions of citizens. However, increasing cases of insecurity, including incidents of assault, gender-based harassment, reckless driving and poor regulation have raised serious concerns about passenger safety and the effectiveness of oversight mechanisms. A particularly alarming case involved Ms. Adele Omondi who on 14th April, 2025 was allegedly drugged, sexually assaulted and robbed while traveling using Mash Poa bus from Nairobi to Mombasa. She was later found disoriented at the Coast General Hospital, having lost her belongings. This incident highlights systematic lapses in passenger protection, particularly for vulnerable groups such as women. 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."
