    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No. 45 (2) to seek a statement from the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations on the increased number of police check points along Mau Summit-Sotik road in Kericho County. In the statement, the Chairperson should address the following:- (a)Why is it that for a distance of less than 80 kilometers, there are more than 15 check points which are inhibiting the free flow of goods and services? (b) Could the Chairperson also confirm if they are aware that the said officers are contravening Section 69 (a) of the Traffic Act by mounting the check points on non- gazetted zones? (c) Is the Chairperson aware that these check points have been turned to corruption zones where traffic officers are collecting bribes in broad daylight without even inspecting the said vehicles? (d) Is the Chairperson aware that tea farmers are bearing the greatest loss of crop rejection by factories since the vehicles transporting their products get stuck in these unnecessary check points and are not allowed to move until they have paid a bribe on a daily basis? (e) Could the Chair also supply the list of the gazetted check points within the county?"
