    "content": "The elephant in the room that this House must tackle practically and decisively is the issue of enforcement. Enforcement will compel our drivers to comply with the rules and regulations that we have. Effective enforcement will lead to rapid reduction in the accidents that occur. Enforcement will also have a long-lasting effect on driver’s behaviour. Research has just shown this. In seeking solutions of enforcement, this Select Committee, if adopted, must have a candid discussion with the public. It must have a candid discussion with the public and other stakeholders on our current enforcement mechanisms. Difficult questions must be asked. Must the police remain the enforcing agency despite the massive and cancerous corruption that has bedeviled that force? Must the police remain the enforcing agency as our people continue to exchange their lives with kitu kidogo ? Must the police remain the enforcing agency when our people continue to die in insecurity zones? Not a single week passes in this House without a Member raising matters of insecurity in their areas. Do we need policemen with guns to enforce traffic? Must the police continue to be the enforcing agency despite the serious lack of accountability and poor public perception? Must the police continue as the enforcing agency while they line their pockets as the blood of innocent children, pregnant mothers, fathers and grandparents continue to flow on our tarmac roads? Kenyans must answer these questions."
