"content": "high-capacity public transport system to operate in the city. We should pass a law to ensure that all deliveries are done only at night but not during the day. Transporting cabbages or potatoes from all over the county during the day causes congestion. Most of the drivers from upcountry do not know the city well. Therefore, they cause more problems. As it has been mentioned, even if fear is instilled into motorists, passengers and everybody else who uses our roads, the challenge will still remain. We should draft a Bill so that the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure looks at these issues. The Nairobi County government should also ensure that heavy commercial vehicles use bypasses. We should also have clear signs on roads because sometimes, you will find that motorists are not given early warnings. You may find that roads are being repaired or constructed and that creates a lot of time wasting. Madam Temporary Speaker, this is a very important Motion. I am happy that enough support has been given to it. I can assure you that I will do more research and draft a Bill that will help in alleviating problems of transport and congestion, not only in Nairobi but also in other cities. The other issue is about motorcycles which have become a menace. Motorcycles have caused very many accidents. I am a Member of the Committee on Health and when I visit any hospital, I find wards specially reserved for motorbike accidents. Why should we have such? We need to alleviate traffic problems. I thank those who have supported this Motion. With those few remarks, I thank you."
