"content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. First of all, I want to thank hon. Lekuton for bringing this amendment. Most of the time when we make our laws, we do not consider our children, and that is why many of them are dying on our roads. We need to make a law to compel all our road contractors to make sure that traffic signs are erected to protect our children. Some contractors do not put those signs. Because of that, some drivers drive at very high speed on roads and sometimes knock down children along roads. Concerning school transport, some private schools transport our children using Land Rovers or Land Cruisers with no safety belts. During an accident, or if anything happens, it causes a lot of injuries to our children. We need to make it a rule that every school must designate a school bus that transports children which is fitted with all safety gadgets. We also need to make sure that all schools erect some bumps near the school, so that vehicles can slow down and allow children to cross the road. Without the bumps, vehicles pass at high speeds. We need to make sure that bumps are erected near every learning institution, so that vehicles can slow down when they reach there. In conclusion, we need to compel schools to make sure that they teach children about safety, so that they can know when to cross a road and when not. This should be put in the curriculum, so that children can know their safety at an early age. I beg to support."
