    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I have not pointed out anyone in particular. Anyone who feels that I have offended them probably falls in that category, but I will come and tell you what I am talking about. Hon. Speaker, I support this Petition. Insurance companies do not like covering very vulnerable groups because they do not like losing money. It is easier for insurance companies to cover vehicles which they know are taken care of by their owners. Before you get insurance cover to cover your life, you are taken through all kinds of medical tests that rule you out. Sometimes, even age rules you out because they think they will lose their money. Therefore, pedestrians who walk innocently and get involved in accidents caused by careless drivers will never get justice in this country because of coverage by insurance companies. This kind of petition will ensure that the insurance companies invest in creating awareness because once we have a compelling situation where we have insurance covering people who are not in any particular group, it will be in order for them to ensure that they invest in awareness to ensure that they do not lose their money and save lives. Initially, we used to say that our road infrastructure was not good because the roads used to have potholes. As you avoid the potholes, you may find yourself getting involved in an accident. However, even after the roads were fixed to the standard of the Thika Road Superhighway, the accidents still increase. It, therefore, means that the problem is not the road but the road users. That is why this Petition needs to be looked into to see if we can save the lives of our people. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
