    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I also wish to add a supplementary question, especially on the road design of the Salgaa/Kibunja Road. We have heard about the measures that will be taken to help reduce these accidents and I have previously been informed that the construction of a dual carriageway would commence very soon. So, I would like to request the Committee to get us an answer, first, on whether that is going to happen. I believe a dual carriageway will probably solve this problem because we have had a lot of deaths in that area. So, if we can have traffic flowing on the dual carriageway, then that would help solve this problem. Secondly, is there a budget for that? Thirdly, when is it commencing? Additionally, what else does the Government intend to do as far as the design of that road is concerned to help to reduce these deaths? I also noticed that since the President ordered the withdrawal of the NTSA officials from the roads, it seemed like the accidents stopped instantly. So, I am not really sure what is going on. The Committee should, therefore, tell us why in the months of November and December, we had so many deaths and then, suddenly, the first of January hits and we are good. So, we are happy that, that is happening; but I am also just wondering about what is really going on."
