    "content": "vehicles that may be going to check on a crime. Most time the whole road is clogged. Unfortunately, in our Kenyan traffic, we do not consider this. Whenever there is a free lane, you will see a motorist or a matatu use it regardless of whether it is reserved for an emergency or not. Hon. Deputy Speaker, in England - and I know you have been there - there is a specific lane for buses, taxis and emergency vehicles. There are times when you cannot use those lanes. If you use them when it is prohibited, you are charged. Unfortunately, that does not happen here in Kenya. Ambulances have sirens to manoeuvre through traffic. Unfortunately, even when they are empty, the ambulance drivers make a lot of noise because they want to go somewhere. We should ensure that they do not misuse those sirens. There should be a way of ensuring that they have a patient when the siren is on. With those few remarks, I support this Motion. I wish it can come as a Bill, so that we can establish these emergency training centers and equip all hospitals with emergency equipment. We may train our people, but have nowhere to take them because we do not have the facilities to handle emergencies in our hospitals. With those few remarks, I support."
