    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will speak the truth and that is why the hon. Member who is the Mover of this Bill is jittery because he has just confirmed now that his intention is to hang people. That is what he has said. If we pass this Bill and we have the likes of the Mover, the law makers, we will hang people every day in this country. This applies even to the people who could not have been on the wrong. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I said earlier, we should allow the comprehensive reforms taking place now so that we can encompass all these laws and then we make recommendations. For example, if we want to reduce traffic in this town, we should create parking zones. For example, if you are coming from Machakos, we can create a parking zone in Athi River. If you are coming from Kajiado, we can create a parking zone in Kitengela. This also applies to traffic from Ngong. This will ensure that you park your car and use public means. Instead of having 200 cars on the road, we can have six to seven buses coming to the City Centre. These are the recommendations we should forward to the Ministry of Transport. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I said earlier on that we should not bring populist Bills so that we can be seen that we are doing a good job. If you abolish, for example, the Traffic Department, what are you replacing it with? What is your recommendation? I do not see it in the Bill. So, this Bill should be opposed. We should “kill” it now and we should not waste time debating this issue. The Chair should call upon the Government to respond, we “kill” this Bill and we move on to another business of the House. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to oppose."
