    "content": "We have many accidents on our highways because our roads are too narrow. The interchanges between vehicles moving in opposite directions cause many accidents. You will rarely witness accidents in Europe and America because all the roads are dual carriageways regardless of their levels. Vehicles move on the road at whichever speed. In fact, in some countries, a motor vehicle moving at a low speed on a road with a higher speed limit is fined because they could cause accidents. However, in our case, all our roads are single roads. Most accidents happen when vehicles are overtaking. If we also want to move goods and services faster to other areas, our road networks have to be properly done. The proposer of this Motion suggests that we dual all the highways, especially the roads from Mombasa to Nairobi and Nairobi to Malaba. We should also dual the roads to Kisumu, Kericho and West Pokot. We should dual all highways that have a lot of traffic. If we do not have money because construction is very expensive, why not toll them? People pay for the road from Mlolongo to the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) and arrive at their destinations on time without accidents or problems. There is a difference when you pay Ksh300 from Nairobi to the JKIA. When you use the normal road to the airport, you will take three hours and spend around Ksh3,000 on fuel."
