    "content": "distance because of traffic. I fully support the idea of coming up with lanes that would allow fire engines and ambulances to use to save lives and property. It is important for the Mover of this Motion to think around the rules that should govern the usage of service lanes. Many times, we have seen people in this country bending traffic rules by overtaking anyhow and in many cases causing accidents. It is important, as we think about service lanes, we also think about the rules that should govern the usage of these lanes so that we make it a smooth undertaking to have vehicles moving on those lanes. Again, I want to put forward my reservations about the inclusion of KeRRA in this affair. We are coming from constituencies where roads require the attention of KeRRA. It is important that we do not become very ambitious or even overambitious by requiring KeRRA to be put into this matter. Even as we plan for the future, it is important we plan with the available resources. We require a lot of resources to put up service lanes on our rural areas. As we put up lanes for ambulances and fire engines in the rural areas, we have roads in our constituencies that require our attention. So, if we pass this Motion without considering that eventually we will need resources to implement this, then we may not realise what we are looking for. So, I support this Motion as it is, but request Hon. Julius Melly to consider thinking about the rules to govern the usage of the lanes. Thank you."
