    "content": "Hon. Chairlady, I beg to move: That, Clause 2 of the Bill be amended in the new sub-clause (3A)- (a) by deleting the word “thirty” appearing immediately after the words “speed exceeding” and substituting therefor the word “fifty”; (b) in paragraph (d) by inserting the following words “as may be designated as a pedestrian crossing by the highway authority” immediately after the words “from school”; and (c) by deleting paragraphs (b), (c) and (e). This amendment seeks to ensure that the speed limits around schools is 50 kilometres per hour; a speed limit of 30 kilometres per hour around schools will be unrealistically slow and would cause unnecessary traffic jams around the schools. Deletion of paragraph (b) seeks to eliminate ambiguity as it is not clear what qualifies to be defined as “an institution normally accessed by children”. Deletion of paragraph (c) seeks to eliminate ambiguity as it is not clear what qualifies to be defined as “a public play ground” which is normally accessed by children. Also, paragraph (e) is unreasonable and should, therefore, be deleted. Further, the amendment seeks to ensure that only areas designated as pedestrian crossings by the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) are subject to the speed limit. This is to avoid instances where pedestrians cross the roads haphazardly thus bringing about disorder in the roads. I, therefore, propose deletion of the said clauses."
