    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as I was saying, I would like to really thank the Members of this House for ventilating very eloquently on this matter. From the views that we have heard, it is clear that all the Members of this House are in agreement that road safety is big issue in this country. As I said, I find the drive of moving this Motion because of what happened in Ntulele. It has a major impact to my county. Understandably, I came on and moved on. Today, on the Floor, I had a chance to listen to the Chairman and Members of the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing on what has progressed within that Committee with regard to this matter. We are in agreement that this is an important issue. Some things have been done. Some things could actually need more effort. On this basis, I would like to take on the advice given by senior colleague, hon. Ababu. The import of this Motion is to save the lives of Kenyans. Under Standing Order No.96 I would like to call for adjournment of debate on this Motion for the sole reason that we need to consult with the Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing and with other Members of this House on this subject matter. We are all driving in the same direction but we could be mixing up or duplicating issues. I am glad that this House had an opportunity to debate the matter of road safety. People have given their views on road safety and now the country knows that road safety is a matter close to the heart of Members. I, therefore, propose adjournment of debate on this Motion and call upon hon. Kajwang to second."
