    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir I bet to reply. (a) Yes, I am aware that one of the major reasons for traffic jams on most Nairobi roads is the failure by matatu drivers to stop at designated bus stops to allow passengers to alight. (b) In order to contain this menace, the Ministry is undertaking the following measures:- (i) enhanced enforcement of traffic rules and regulations particularly on obstruction when picking and dropping passengers at non-designated areas and passengers boarding at non-designated areas; (ii) road safety campaigns geared towards educating matatu drivers on the dangers of stopping at the non-designated bus stops; (iii) gazetting of Legal Notice No.173 that forbids passengers boarding and alighting from public service vehicles at places that are not authorized as bus stops or bus terminals; (iv) increased patrols along the roads within the city; (v) liaising with the Nairobi Metropolitan Development Ministry and Nairobi City Council to create enough designated bus stops to cater for the increased number of public service vehicles within the city; (vi) conducting periodic media releases giving out data of accidents within the city and the country at large, and mostly highlighting accidents as a result of obstructions; scenes of such accidents are shown to demonstrate to the public and motorists the dangers of flouting traffic rules and bad driving habits. Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir."
