    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity at least to say or contribute something. Today, Nakuru County where I come from is mourning. We have lost over 40 lives within less than 30 days. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the matter raised by our colleague, Hon. Member, is now a serious matter of concern in this country. Sachangwan and Salgaa areas are where most of my people from Njoro Constituency go looking for their daily bread. The issue of accidents must be handled with seriousness this time round. What we need in our country now is serious implementation on every matter which can make us prevent accidents. We need clear markings on roads, appropriate bumps here and there so that we can prevent such accidents. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would also propose that the drivers who drive long distances must be more than two in a truck. This is because long distances make most of our drivers feel sleepy and thus we end up encountering such serious accidents. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is high time we expanded our roads to ease jams and accidents. In Nakuru Country, the road which passes through Salgaa is the same one which goes to Eldoret and back to Kericho and Bomet. In future, I will be requesting our Government to check how we can have an alternative road like Soilo through Njoro, Molo to Kericho and Bomet. I think that will ease the congestion on the Nakuru-Eldoret Road. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is also high time the drivers in this country are qualified. This is because sometimes we have drivers and to some extent they hire drivers who are not qualified. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
