    "content": "there are a lot of accidents in Kenya, Kenyans get concerned and stakeholders and citizens become angry and make a lot of noise. However, after a short while, the routine resumes. I think the petitioners have identified key issues the relevant Committee should touch on. That way we would be in a position to address the issue of road safety in Kenya. The creation of Road Safety Boards and the elimination of black spots… We know that there are specific areas on our roads where accidents occur regularly, but we do nothing about them. So, as a Parliament, we need to ensure that we act on this Petition and ensure that such issues are eliminated. Hon. Speaker, in the countryside, we have a boda boda menace. They cause accidents on a regular basis. At the national level we seem not to be attentive to some of these accidents. So, as the relevant Committee looks into this issue, I would like it to be specific and focus on the key accidents that are caused by our boda bodas on the ground. Indeed, many people are dying on the ground as a result of accidents caused by boda bodas. We must also accept that presently in Kenya road accidents is the biggest cause of deaths after HIV/AIDS. This is an issue that the Committee must look at seriously and make recommendations that will be tested. It must also come up with conclusive results about road accidents in this country. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
