    "content": "that the law was enforced that particular night. We also see KeNHA here. The road is being used before it is complete. It has no road signs and markings. Why should this happen? Is it a weakness on the side of the contractors? It is a weakness on the side of the supervision of the work that is being done. This is where, again, we will expect people to come forward and say they share blame. Were there marks on this road? Were there speed indicators on the road? We are also talking about a vehicle rolling several times. What was the body of this vehicle like? The vehicle rolled and in the first rolling, it was like an iron sheet peeling from the roof. What is the Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) doing? What has KEBS done up to now? Are we going to continue having a situation where motor vehicles are manufactured without adhering to the set standards just because our industries are not working well? These are some of the things we should be seeing now. If we do not see them now, we should insist that these people give us clear indications on how they are going to contribute to reducing road carnage in this country. If we do not do this, we will be seeing the numbers going up instead of going down. I take this chance, on behalf of the people of Bomachoge Borabu, to register my condolences to the families that have unfortunately been affected by this brutal road carnage and request my colleagues to be smart in the way we appropriate funds and ensure that the funds are used properly. If we do that, we will be able to put the people responsible to account."
