    "content": " God is good because you have given me a chance. First of all, I want to condone with the families who have lost their loved ones. Road carnage is a big problem. I come from a constituency that has a road passing in the middle. We always have major road accidents in Kimende and the same happened in Kericho. First of all, let me look at human habits. We find drivers driving at night while they are very tired or drunk. So, we should condemn all these bad habits which Kenyans are doing causing road carnage. I also want to condemn the Ministry of Transport, Infrastructure, Housing and Urban Development because a benchmark was put by the late Michuki. Regarding lack of insurance, I think the owner of the buses and the SACCO should be banned from operating and jailed. This bus did not have seatbelts and the late Michuki set the benchmarks. If this bus rolled and the passengers had worn seatbelts, they could not have flown out like flying pans and maybe more lives would have been saved. On overspeeding of vehicles, a driver could be driving at 120 kilometers per hour and on seeing a truck ahead, they try to swerve, rolling many times. I want to condemn the regulatory authorities. They should wake up and ensure that they regulate the transport sector as required. They should invest in motorbikes to be used by police officers at night rather than using roadblocks. Roadblocks are meant to inspect buses while on transit, but nobody escorts them. This should be the infrastructure side. Maybe, we should install cameras on our roads and have a system of monitoring what happens on all our roads. As I talk more on the infrastructure, I am looking at a situation where our Government should one day make all the highways dual carriageways.
