    "content": "I drive on the road between here and Kitale, which used to take me less than four hours to get there at normal speed. You take more than eight or nine hours to get to Kitale today because people break the laws left, right and centre. You will find a truck which is supposed to be on the last lane on the first lane and a policeman allows it. You wonder whether this guy went to school or knows road signage. In essence, when you are driving on the highway, the trucks are supposed to be on the extreme left. I get uneasy on the road when I see a truck on the right side of the road in places like Salgaa, between Nakuru and Molo where we have had many accidents. We said in this House that we must have, at least, two or three lanes there. They have done something about it now. However, once you get there, you get amused. If you travel from Nakuru to Eldoret, you will find a truck on the right side of the road and the two lanes on the left side of the road are empty. The problem we have in this country is that we spend a lot of money. Hon. Osoro said that we spend Kshs300 billion annually on hospital bills. We should use half of it for refresher courses which should be mandatory for drivers after every five years. It is time we enforced this law because it appears that our road users do not know what to do when they get there."
