    "content": "Another impractical provision is the one on road blocks. I appreciate that we cannot have road blocks everywhere. But I oppose one thing, that we can only have road blocks at designated areas. It is not practical. What happens today, if the police in Nakuru call the police in Nairobi and say; “we have three vehicles on the highway coming towards Nairobi or Naivasha or somewhere and they have robbed or done some crime in Nakuru, please put road blocks and arrest them? What will the police in Naivasha or Nairobi say? We cannot put road blocks because this is not a designated area. We need to leave the police, to some extent, to be able to regulate themselves. We cannot regulate everything that they do. Again, I feel for all of us. I feel for the many bad drivers we have on the road. I am not going to support the disorder we have in the matatu sector or with the boda boda, but I am also saying this Bill is not the solution. The proposed Bill does not offer us any solution so far."
