"content": "because there was no traffic policeman. Once a policeman arrives, traffic starts flowing. That is an indication of our bad culture; that a policeman must be around so that we obey rules. So, who will be policing these lanes as we wait for ambulances to come? We need to correct our culture and to obey rules or regulations. We have been given an example of London. Yes, we have seen it and it happens. Those people have gone through a change of culture and they know what it means to obey rules. I commend the police. Finally, still in commending the police, I would like to say that the traffic police in Nairobi today are responsible for the traffic jams in the city. The County of Nairobi has made huge investments in setting up traffic lights. However, the police are still controlling traffic in Nairobi. Coincidentally, they ask motorists to go when the lights are red and to stop when they turn green. So, when will our people know that red means stop and green means go? Right now the police are encouraging us to drive when it is red and stop when it is green. I want to appeal to the City administration to tell the traffic police officers to keep off places where lights have been installed, so that people can be regulated by the traffic lights instead of them."
