    "content": "So, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are saying that a person who when driving or in charge, or during any period of duty in connection to the driving of a public service vehicle, drinks any intoxicating liquor or drug, commits an offense. They shall be liable upon conviction, to imprisonment for a term not than 10 years or to a fine of not less than Kshs50,000 or both. We want to jail public service drivers who get behind the wheels when they are intoxicated. I am sure that if we implement that in only two weeks, we will save tens and tens of lives in this country. You cannot pay fare in a matatu and entrust your life to somebody who does not care about even his own life. So, we have sought to draft this Bill like that. We learnt a lot of from hon. Mututho’s Alcohol Control Act; that when you put a stiff penalty, you will see change immediately."
