"content": "Many cars are coming into this country. Every month we are receiving more than one thousand cars, but for the individual who is buying the car he does not see the road and his comfort. I think it is important for us even as Government to relate the importation of cars to road space. Just like we are talking about family planning, it is time for us to talk about car planning so that we know the number of cars coming into the country. Madam Temporary Speaker, time has come for us to look at our traffic laws and enforcement again. I am very happy with the new system which has been introduced; the roadside courts for traffic offenders, but another problem arises there. The mwananchi does not know how much money he should pay if he is found with a defective mirror for instance because we are being arrested for that. Mwananchi does not know how much he is supposed to pay for other defects with the motor vehicle. Those fines have become erratic. You will be taken aside and fined Kshs10,000 another one Kshs2,000 another one Kshs15,000 and so on. It has also become one of the potential sources of corruption because instead of paying Kshs10,000, you would rather see the policeman on the other side, halafu muelewane then you proceed."
