"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I take this opportunity to thank the House for supporting this Motion. I beg to move: THAT, pursuant to Standing Order 33(1), I rise to seek leave for adjournment of the House to discuss a definite matter of urgent national importance regarding the surge of road accidents in the country. The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) recently released a report providing statistical data on the current road safety situation in the country. According to the Report, 7,192 Kenyans have been involved in road accidents within the last three months of 2024, marking a significant rise of accidents compared to the same period in 2023. It is disheartening that at least 1,189 lives were tragically lost in the accidents. These statistics highlight the troubling state of road accidents in the country, which require urgent intervention. While acknowledging efforts by the Ministry of Roads and Transport in the last few days, much more needs to be done, including the full implementation of traffic laws and policies to ensure road safety. It is against this background that I seek leave for the Adjournment of the House to discuss this matter of national concern with a view to exploring possible and lasting solutions."

In the last three months, accidents have increased on our roads to the extent that many families have lost their loved ones. The problem is that nobody wants to take responsibility when these accidents happen. We have the Ministry of Transport blaming"

As a country, we need to think deeply, look at what is happening around, and try to find a long-lasting solution to this recurring problem each day and season. Yesterday, there were two accidents. One is in Kirinyaga, and another is along the Nakuru-Nairobi route. This is something that happens every day. However, what we only do as a country is register statistics."

"content": "Hon. Temporary Speaker, the biggest problem that leads to these unfortunate incidents of loss of lives on our roads is the taking of bribes by our traffic police officers. This vice is very rampant and deeply rooted amongst Kenyans to the extent that it has been normalised as a way of life. Many times, police officers demand bribes or create conditions necessary for bribes to be given, but at the same time, motorists or traffic offenders actually prepare and encourage the police to take bribes. In Kenya, this has been normalised to the extent that if you The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor"
