    "content": "We are dealing with traffic matters. It is currently before the nation. The Bill provides for the appointment of inspectors of motor vehicles and designated authorised officers for the purpose of this Act. They are not even recognised. Who is an inspection officer? It also seeks to amend Section 8 to create an offence and proscribe penalty on issuance of insurance cover to a person who is not a registered owner of a motor vehicle. That is very important. Why do you give insurance to a person who does not own the vehicle? Where is the liability? Thirdly, it seeks to amend Section 39 so that the driving test is conducted by the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA). Fourth, it seeks to amend Section 57 to create an offence and prescribe a penalty for driving a vehicle which requires a permit proscribed under the Act. One of the reasons why we have accidents, and more so involving boda boda, it is because boda boda riders are not the ones who secured the insurance. The Chair has looked at these amendments and made sure that he arrived at a middle ground. So, I do not have a problem if we listened to the Chair and see his middle ground. Based on what is happening in the country now, it is important. We cannot delete all these things."
