"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Chairperson should explain to us what punitive measures or enhanced penalties are meted out to those who misuse the roads. The major issue is indiscipline. There is no other issue. So, it is not about the rules or explanations that are supposed to be given. It comes out of individuals who do so deliberately, operate with impunity and believe that they are above the law. On our roads, the recklessness and abandon with which matatu drivers operate depicts individuals who are completely devoid of any consideration of law. I recall that hon. Jakoyo Midiwo moved a Bill in the National Assembly that was supposed to increase the penalties that are meted out to individuals who break the law. What is the position regarding the penalties? The reason why the United Kingdom is a safe driving place is because if you commit a traffic offence, the penalty is so high but you are never warned to do it. So, can we consider or have considered any such measures?"
