    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, yesterday, we had a heated debate here regarding road carnage and the Minister for Transport conceded that there is a problem between his Ministry and the Office of the President with regard to enforcement. I hope that the Prime Minister will take it up from there. The Minister said that when it comes to enforcement, they have a problem because the matter lies with the police. I want to follow up on what my colleagues have raised about the congestion on our roads. If you come from the side of Karen using Lang’ata Road, you will be stuck in a big traffic jam only to come to some point near Lang’ata Barracks to find there is an accident. Maybe, a matatu has hit another vehicle, thus causing a big traffic jam. I have noticed the problem near the road going to Kenyatta Hospital from Lang’ata Road. They tried to install some traffic lights and there was some movement. But when the police came, there was no movement. Since the police came there, there has been a lot of congestion. I think there is a law that I would like the Prime Minister to look into with regard to the performance of the police when they are controlling the traffic. He needs to carry out a study to find out the performance between the traffic lights in some places and the police. That is because, sometimes, they cause a lot traffic jam and accidents."
