    "content": "I rise to seek for a Ministerial statement from the Minister for Transport in respect of a fatal accident which occurred along Kapsabet-Chavakali Road on Sunday, 20th November, 2010, at around 1.15 p.m., involving a Nissan matatu travelling towards Kapsabet and an Eldoret Express bus travelling from Nairobi to Kakamega, whereby all the 11 passengers in the Nissan matatu lost their lives. I would like the Minister to clarify what his Government is doing about the numerous road accidents which have been reported in the country lately. I also want the Minister to restate the Government policy on speed governors on public service vehicles; the Government policy on police check units and police patrols on our roads and whether the condition of the road may have contributed to the accident. As you know, we have been asking about roads in Western Province being in very deplorable situation. Five, we also want to know whether both vehicles had been fitted with speed governors and finally, on humanitarian grounds, because I am sure maybe, these vehicles were insured but as the responsibility of the Government to its citizens, we want to know whether there will be facilitation of speedy investigation into the matter and compensation to the families of those who lost their loved ones."
