    "content": "Mwingi West, WDM-K): Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would like to put it clear that Hon. Osoro has already accepted this name and it has always been circulating among the Members that he is called Sura Mbaya . I would like to start contributing to this Motion by saying that knowledge is power and sometimes we have to acknowledge that information is liberating. I would like to support this Motion. Let us not introduce it in schools for the matter of being a subject. It can be introduced as a title. Many of our people in this country, especially pedestrians and cyclists, suffer because of lack of knowledge. If at all we introduce this, we will be able to read road signs and recognise when we are supposed to use pedestrian crossing. I have realised in this country that most of the time, motorists do not respect pedestrian crossings especially in major cities. You will see a person speeding when he is approaching a pedestrian crossing. It is because that driver has not been to school. If this Motion is approved and implemented at secondary and primary levels, many people will have what we call knowledge of road usage and driving. I have even observed in highways that most people do not even know the rule of keep left. We have been saying that our traffic rule is keeping left but, most of the time, they do not practise it. Out of this ignorance, if we can treat this disease through educating our people, I am sure it will help a lot. With those few remarks, I would like to support the Motion and encourage the Member to actually make sure that this is implemented in our country. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
