    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker. I would like to comment on the Petition by hon. Birdi in that there are three main weighbridges in the country. Sometimes what a truck weighs in Mombasa and what it weighs in Mlolongo is different from what it weighs in the Rift Valley. This affects many people and the Kenya National Highways Authority seems to be new and not familiar with their work. They have a mixture of policemen and civilian employees working together and the main idea seems like to take bribes at the end of the day. In fact, many people want something done at the weighbridges because they frustrate business people so that at the end of the day they get a bribe. We support this Petition and we will participate in the relevant Committee if it will be committed to do so, so that we can assist business people in this country. We want to assist the transport sector to make profit without being harassed by the authorities which are supposed to be taking care of their businesses. They pay tax like any other people but at the end of the day they end up with a lot of frustrations."
