    "content": "traffic police. However, what happens in this country is that we are more advanced in corruption than any other African country. We do not implement our policies but we go for kickbacks. Here in Nairobi, as I happen to be taking whisky along Langata Road waiting to go to my house in Karen, I find a group of NTSA officials along Langata Road towards Karen after Bomas. Their mission is rent seeking activities and yet people are dying on the highways. What business does NTSA have in collecting small bribes in estates where somebody is driving a distance of less than 10 kilometres from a bar to his house and then you are charging him a Kshs10,000 bribe? These NTSA officials must be sacked or we do away with it completely. You have no business chasing a driver in Nairobi in the estates with Alcoblow yet people are dying on the highways. Were you employed to seek rent? Furthermore, this accident according to the media was caused by a driver who was evading arrest from a rogue NTSA official. Do we legislate here to create parastatals that allow people to seek rent in this country? In Kenya we are very poor in policy implementation. Recently, I was in a small country called Rwanda. In Kigali, they are doing a Kshs700 billion international airport. Talk of Kenya, the greenfield airport you see here is total corruption. What are we doing? The issue is implementation of policy. Let us subject this matter to the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing, they bring a report here then the Committee on Implementation must follows it up to ensure that what we talk here is implemented. Thank you, so much and I support."
