    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to the Motion on this very important Vote. First, I want to say that for a very long time, the Ministry of Transport has done very well. Particularly, when the Ministry introduced the so-called \"Michuki Rules\" in the public transport system, sanity was returned to the road transport industry. Unfortunately, over the last few months, the sanity that had been restored has, quickly, been disappearing. At the moment, people no longer use safety belts. Speed governors have been tempered with. So, it is important that the Ministry re- focuses on enforcing the rules it introduced earlier on to ensure that they are followed. It is very important to do so, because the lives of many Kenyans are at risk due to lack of enforcement of those rules. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Ministry of Transport is very important, particularly considering the fact that the Kenya Ports Authority (KPA), the Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) and other very important authorities fall under its docket. This means that the Ministry contributes immensely to this country's economy. Talking about the KPA, I would like to congratulate the Ministry because, in the last regime, the KPA was not making a lot, but of late the performance of the KPA has improved a great deal. However, there is the issue of Grain Bulk Handling Company Limited, which is the only matter I will talk about and sit down, because it is a very sensitive issue."
