    "content": "THAT, the slow rate of clearance of trailers, other vehicles and cargo by the Customs officials is also a major contributor to the traffic gridlocks. THAT, efforts to obtain lasting solutions to the impasse have so far borne no fruit. THAT, the issues in respect of which this Petition is made are not pending before any court of law, constitutional or statutory body. Therefore, your humble petitioners pray that the National Assembly, through the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing:- (1) Ensure that the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure establishes several by- passes around Busia and Malaba towns; (2) The Ministry allocates adequate funding for the construction of trailer parks by the national Government so as to ensure that hazardous goods such as petroleum and explosives are separately monitored in a segregated area; (3) Recommends and ensures the establishment of Customs offices at Muluanda Centre to assist in decongestion and provide additional space for clearing and forwarding; and (4) Makes any other order and/or direction that it deems fit in the circumstances of the case. And your Petitioners will forever pray."
