I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.48 (1), to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Roads and Transportation on the issue of re-introduction of new speed governors for public transport vehicles. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) Explain why the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) is forcing Public Service Vehicles (PSVs) to change their speed governors after every two (2) years; (2) Explain the justification by NTSA of introducing new features on speed governors; (3) Explain why the Authority has not inspected the existing speed governors before advising PSVs to buy new ones; (4) Provide a list of suppliers of the approved speed governors in Kenya; (5) Explain why the suppliers, in cahoots with NTSA extort funds from matatu owners by setting up a standard price of between Kshs30,000 –Kshs40,000 per speed governor; (6) Explain why the Ministry of Transport, Infrastructure, Housing and Urban Development has not set and gazetted the requirements, standards and features required for a speed governor? Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."}
