    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I listened to the responses and something struck me, which I would wish the Chairperson of the Committee on Roads and Transport looks into. We have been told how the roads would be improved to reduce accidents, especially on that particular black spot and others spread around the country. I was among the people who accompanied retired President Mwai Kibaki to the burial of 100 people who perished there. But this is not the only black spot in the country, and this is my concern. With the frequent accidents happening there, could the Ministry of Roads and Infrastructure go and find out whether there is something wrong with the road design, which is actually causing the accidents? Perhaps when the drivers are approaching this particular spot, they are not able to see the oncoming traffic from a distance. Therefore, when they come here and say that there is a contract for maintenance, this may not address the issue. There have been accidents in this one particular spot consistently and, therefore, there is need for research to see whether the original road design is defective. We should not just deal with the road as it is. Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
