    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that there has been an increase of traffic offences by Public Service Vehicles (PSVs) in the last few months. This has prompted intensive and consistent enforcement of the Traffic Act. (b) The number of prosecutions from traffic offences and fines collected in the last two years is as follows: The total number of cases detected in 2006 were 888,087; in 2007, the cases were 928,373. The total number of cases from January up to July, 2008, as requested, is 340,661. The total revenue collected for the year for 2006 was Kshs447,600,066. In 2007, we collected Kshs542,363,745. From January to July 2008, we have collected Kshs207,367,675. (c) We will have continuous crackdowns on unroadworthy vehicles and other traffic offences to ensure road safety for all road users. In addition, we are considering the enhancement of penalties to deter traffic violators and promote long-term adherence to the law."
