    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for your protection. I am raising a very important issue here. Every day, the Ministry of Transport Infrastructure, Housing and Urban Development comes up with a new policy. It is a sad that road users cannot do their business without being harassed by police officers at the road blocks. I wish the Committee could summon the Cabinet Secretary (CS) to come and explain to this House these policies that are being implemented by the NTSA. Even with these policies are in place, we have accidents on the roads. It is the Ministry Interior and Coordination of National Government which is managing transport on our roads. The Ministry of Transport, Infrastructure, Housing and Urban Development is not doing much on our roads. We see NTSA officers harassing road users. Whenever there is an accident on Mombasa Road or on other roads, it become very difficult for other roads users and many Kenyans to make it to their places of work. This is because everybody is helpless. The Ministry insist to matatu owners to fit their vehicles with substandard seatbelts to enrich cartels in this sector. I support this Statement. I wish the Chairman will bring a satisfactory response to this Statement."
