    "content": "the Traffic Department. The Traffic Police Department has become a den of corruption and nepotism. Tougher penalties are needed in this country, if we have to save the lives of Kenyans. One of the areas on which I support the Minister is that of driving licences. You see people who have major sight problems driving cars. Even some Members of Parliament have good drivers but once it becomes dark, you find yourself asking him: “My friend, do you have some sight problems?” You see the guy veering off the road. So, we should start with Members of Parliament. Most of our drivers cannot drive safely at night. The moment you have somebody else with a similar problem driving from the opposite direction, an accident happens. Therefore, I support the proposal on presentation of a medical report as a pre-requisite for issuance of driving licence. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, another area I would like to comment on is ownership of motor vehicle registration, which is the preserve of the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA). When I sell a vehicle to Prof. Anyang’-Nyong’o, he must, first, return the number plate to the KRA and get full registration. If he does not do so, he might end up buying a vehicle which has been stolen, as it happened to hon. Gumo, a very straightforward man who, for the first time in this country, has been seen by many people as the one who went and stole the vehicle of former President Moi. God forbid! So, registration is very key! The moment this was happening, I flew with hon. Gumo to Mombasa. I did not know I was flying with a man who had been accused of stealing a Range Rover. So, registration is very key. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on adulteration of fuel, I am very happy that the Minister has pointed it out. M atatus and trucks look for cheap fuel. They just go and buy adulterated fuel which affects the engine and the system of any vehicle. That is the major cause and I think there is a penalty for that. Overlapping, driving on pavements and sidewalks, avoiding traffic jams and going through petrol stations is the craziest menace"
