    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I fully share the sentiments expressed by Sen. Kembi-Gitura. Indeed, they are very valid observations. It is regrettable that in a span of a mere two years, we have lost so many people. However, this is really a question of public discipline. We, as Kenyans, need to understand and appreciate the need to observe the law. By crossing the Super highway at points which are not designated, pedestrians get involved in accidents and lose lives. This is regrettable. So, there is need to sensitise and educate our people at all levels; in schools, churches and in other forums. Secondly, I agree that there is need to put in place a mechanism to enforce existing laws to avoid accidents and unnecessarily deaths. The Committee will be discussing these issues and particularly what Sen. Kembi-Gitura has raised. We will ask the Ministry in particular to ensure that the penalties are revised upwards, so that they become a true deterrent. This will ensure that people feel the heavy fines and think twice before they start crossing that road. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
