"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like the Prime Minister to clarify two issues. There was the issue of instant fines which would have gone a long way in reducing the number of court cases. That is because one of the reasons why the public service vehicles--- This time it is not the matatu drivers. I would like to state clearly that it is not only the matatu drivers who are careless on our roads. All commercial vehicles are competing with time! One of the reasons why they always get away with it is because the process is too involving and they end up getting a loophole somewhere. There was the issue of instant fines which was being introduced in this House through the Ministry of Finance. It is still pending! When is the Prime Minister intending to push it so that it can be implemented? That way, it will address some of these issues urgently? Secondly, we have seen in other countries the involvement of stakeholders like NACA. You will find that police officers operate parallel to stakeholders so that they can reduce corruption. This is one of the ways in which we can create efficiency. Does the Prime Minister have such an idea in mind? We can involve stakeholders; they can participate in the policing of our roads."
