    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I sincerely thank Mr. Wanyonyi for having moved this Motion. It is very timely, indeed. Since long ago when Egerton was still a college and I was a student there, I used to hear about these accidents in those areas up to and including yesterday. What are we doing about it? We need not talk and talk and do nothing. What we need to do is to first and foremost find the root cause of that particular accident in that particular area. Why that area all the time? Why these big disasters in that particular area? Recently, religious leaders went there to do cleansing; maybe it was not accepted. They might need to repeat it. So the first thing I recommend is: Can people in the transport department, very technically competent engineers, first and foremost find the root cause of that accident in that particular area? Once the root cause is identified, then can very quick actions be taken in order to solve that issue? It may be erecting very big bumps so that vehicles slow down as they head to that area. It may include having other roads, like what has just been said, the Mai Mahiu Road and the former Naivasha Road where lorries were told to use that route while the small cars use the other route. Road accidents have drastically reduced in those areas. It may include coming up with a dual carriageway to lessen the impact of the accidents. Without the dual carriageway, when an accident happens and there are two lanes, vehicles coming and going are close to one another and the impact becomes larger. When you have dual carriageway, accidents will not end The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
