(Ms.) Abdalla","speaker_title":"","speaker":{"id":382,"legal_name":"Amina Ali Abdalla","slug":"amina-abdalla"},"content":"Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I beg to support this Petition. While I am supporting this Petition, I would like to state that one of the promises contained in Jubilee’s Manifesto is to make Kenya a logistical hub. Making Kenya a logistical hub will bring with it more challenges of having vehicles moving at higher speed. So, I would like to request the Petitioner and the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing to broaden this debate on the issue; because of the axle load restrictions more heavy duty vehicles are coming to our roads; they can transport cargo that would otherwise be transported by more vehicles. So, I would like this Petition to be expanded and look at the impact of increasing Kenya’s value as a logistical hub and the impact of that on road accidents."}
