    "content": "Again, on Clause 47 on demerits, the Minister should clarify that the demerits seem to take effect after the matter is before court. My understanding is that the demerits should come way before that. Finally, I was hoping that the Minister would have come with amendments in relation to causing deaths by dangerous driving and more enhanced penalties for hit and run motorists. I was trying to go through the Traffic Act to see what the provisions say but I know that when I was in active practice, the penalties for causing death of a person were laughable. Kenyans should know that if you want to drive a car for 24 hours, unless you are sent from heaven by the Lord as an angel, you cannot humanly do it. If, therefore, you deliberately endanger peoples’ lives and cause their deaths, we should not be lenient with you. I very grudgingly support this Bill because, I do not want to say that the Minister is wasting our time, but to be polite, I want to say he is making us not use our time appropriately."
