    "content": "Government and collude with the police? Do not fear, let us make laws that bite. You will only die once and you will never die inside this Chamber. You will go somewhere, but you will have left a mark. Laws must be stringent. Last Sunday, I watched a girl on television who lost her arm in that accident that I have talked about. I saw hundreds of people sitting on wheel chairs having been maimed by unnecessary accidents that can be avoided. It is good to go to a public rally and say “policemen should stop disturbing drivers”. The kind of recklessness on our roads is worrying. Today I have just read in the newspaper that in Kisiani Kisumu, motorists are stoning police officers because they do not want the mobile court. What do people want the Government to do? The Government must do something. Jail them! We must support the Government to bring sanity on our roads. We have no choice. It is the responsibility these legislators have. We spend so much time on sideshows. It is also part of politics, but sometimes, for Christ sake, we need to deal with something this noble. We are dealing with issues of insecurity. You cannot have security if there is so much disorder on the roads. You can never have civilisation if people depict disorder everywhere on the road. The laws are there and they are not being enforced. We must deal with the police. I want to plead with this House that it may look expedient to try to protect the current police---"
