    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Let me join my colleague, Hon. Dennitah, in thanking the Mover of this Motion, Hon. Mutua. This is a very important Motion. I want to take this opportunity on my own behalf and on behalf of the good people of Kitui Central to say pole to the families who have lost their loved ones. I wish a quick recovery to those who are in hospitals. We need to stop these kinds of Motions from becoming talk shows. We have lost about 55 Kenyans. When you follow the story in the print media and on television, you realise that there are a number of unanswered questions. As a country, we agreed that it was important for public transport vehicles to be fitted with speed governors. When you read that the driver of this vehicle was over-speeding and driving carelessly, you ask yourself what happened to the issue of speed governors. That is the first question. Secondly, for those of us who travel at night, there are many police road blocks. They check vehicles after every 10 kilometres. They stop vehicles, check them and tell you to move on. From Nairobi to Kericho, how many road blocks would this vehicle have gone through? How come they did not realise that the vehicle lacked a road licence and insurance? What is happening with our traffic police officers who should check vehicles? Is it that they did not want to tell the driver that he cannot travel because the vehicle had no insurance or were they compromised?
