    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. From the outset, I would like to thank Sen. Karaba for bringing this Motion. Sometimes, we look at our country and wonder what really happened. We had a masterpiece of all this and one country called Malaysia took it and used it. Today, the country is admirable. Those are the brains of Kenyans who came up with the masterpiece. They told them how they could build a country and organise it, have good roads, clean water, sewerage systems and sanitation facilities. If you look at our country today you will see that the issue of traffic jams is affecting us. I remember that during the campaigns, every person who was vying for governorship would explain what he had put in place to ensure that traffic jams become history in Nairobi. These people gave a lot of good ideas. I remember sitting with them one time in a studio. We had Mr. Kisia, Dr. Kidero, now the Governor, hon. Waititu and Jimnah Mbaru who gave very good ideas of what they were thinking and how they were planning to unlock traffic jams. Nairobi County has today invested in traffic lights. We need to ask ourselves if it is possible to rely on lights without using the police. I was thinking that the police should consider allowing us to use traffic lights. They should, probably, wait and see whether Kenyans will obey the lights. I know that one of the challenges that Kenyans are facing is the failure to obey traffic laws. That is why the police are there. If you asked me, I would say that it is time that we penalised ourselves. I think Kenyans love harsh laws. We should penalise anybody who is found driving on those emergency lanes. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
