    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for allowing me to add my contribution to this very important Motion brought by Hon. Faith Gitau, one of our very diligent commissioners and Member of Parliament. I support this Motion because it touches on one of the most important things that we depend on as a country. I fully support the proposal that this House resolves that the Government, through the Ministry of Roads and Transport, undertake an expansion programme of national trunk roads with a view to upgrading all Classes A, B, and C roads in the country from two-way lanes to dual carriageway, one-way roads, with the necessary infrastructure that includes footbridges and safe crossing zones at regular intervals. So many innocent lives have been lost. We have even lost tourists due to road carnage. We have lost young people and students going for school trips or to school. By expanding our roads, we will be sure that accidents will be reduced. Even as we propose this, discipline must be observed in terms of time and how drivers conduct themselves. Having driving licence and observing all the due diligence will add a lot of value to the suggestion we are making."
