    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute on the Statement. I commend my fellow Senator who has come up with this Statement. This particular spot has taken a lot of precious lives because of corruption that we have been singing about. This incident could have been prevented if the police officers who were manning that road were keen and effective in the delivery of their mandate. It is unfortunate that lives have been lost and this does not only happen on this particular road. We have lost lives on other roads in the country as well. It is a high time that the national Government, county government and other bodies are put on the spot over this issue. It is very important for them to take up their mandate and label or demarcate this particular road and the others. It is sad to continuously see a death spot being ignored and lives being lost. The concerned parties, especially those who are supposed to take over the mandate of labeling or demarcating roads; the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA), should take over their mandate. They should work on those roads by putting up the bumps that are required. They should also look for innovative ways that can prevent lives from getting lost through accidents. I come from Vihiga County and that road serves me when I am going to Kisumu International Airport. In fact, I now fear for my life because I drive through that road almost every week. The roads of that nature should be marked and the bumps erected to save lives."
