    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to give notice of the following Motion: THAT, concerned that available reports indicate that on average road traffic accidents in the country cause an estimated 3,000 deaths with very many other victims injured and maimed as a result, and placing Kenya among the countries with the highest road carnage globally; further concerned that it is estimated that the cost of economy from road carnage accident is in excess of about Kshs300 billion annually according to the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) Road Safety Status Report 2015; and aware that legislation and policies in place to a large extent address key road safety risk factors and challenges in its implementation and enforcement; cognizant that road safety awareness would help in combating road accidents in the country, acknowledging that Section 4(2) of the NTSA Act mandates the NTSA to develop and implement road safety strategies and facilitate education of members of the public on road safety; recognising that schools provide the largest and most concentrated group of members of the public who can benefit from road safety education; this House resolves that the National Government urgently develops and implements a mandatory and examinable curriculum for training of students and pupils in primary and secondary schools on road safety. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
