    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as you realize, we appreciate the effort of the Government to rein in the lawlessness on our roads. We also have to be realistic and know we have to deal with constitutional Bills, and we have very few more weeks for legislation remaining. So, if we are to accomplish anything in terms of reducing the road carnage, we think going my way would be the most appropriate. We have a lot of stakeholders. I am going to be calling meetings of stakeholders. We realize that there are people who have interest in this matter. These are people who deal with road safety. We also have concerns from the police. There are also concerns by the Government. My purpose was to ignite debate on the safety on our roads. The number of Kenyans dying every day on our roads as a result of carelessness is something that we cannot ignore, as a country. We have to do something. Parliament and, parliamentarians in general, have a duty to come in if there is laxity on the part of the Government. I am open and ready. I am going to have communication from very many stakeholders. I will be contacting them in the next few days, so that we can have a proper and more comprehensive amendment package to try and stop the trend of carelessness on our roads. With those few remarks, I beg to move."
