I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, aware that there has been an increase in fatal road accidents in the country in the recent past, including the most recent cases of the accident which occurred at Ntulele area along the Nairobi-Narok Road where 42 persons lost their lives and others left debilitated; further aware that since January 2013 to 19th September 2013, there has been a total of 4,501 road accidents with 1,841 of them being classified as fatal and in total 2,293 persons have lost their lives due to those accidents; concerned that there are reported increases in the failure of road users to adhere to traffic rules, the laxity in enforcing the provision of Legal Notice No.161 of 2003, popularly known as the “ Michuki Rules ” and the Traffic (Amendment) Act of 2012, and the lack of any legislation or policy on Motorcycles and boda boda operations; noting that there has not been a national study on the possible manufacturer’s defaults, particularly on locally assembled public transport vehicles; this House resolves that the National Transport and Safety Authority do conduct safety training, testing and licensing of all boda bodas and motorcycles, and further resolves to establish a Select Committee on Road Safety to investigate, inquire into and make recommendations to the House, including recommendations on proposed legislation within one hundred and twenty (120) days on- (i) the root causes of the rising cases of road carnage, including motor-cycle accidents; (ii) the failures in enforcement mechanisms of the existing traffic- related statutes and regulatory measures; The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
