"content": "We have seen the Ministry taking certain actions, such as returning the NTSA to the road and banning certain types of vehicles like the Probox and the Noahs from the roads. But these are actually knee-jerk reactions to a situation that needs permanent solutions. Unfortunately, as we are used to in this country, everything will go silent after two weeks, and everybody will forget that there was a problem on our roads, and life will go on as usual. Therefore, we need tangible and long-lasting solutions to the problems on our roads. We must ask ourselves, why do these accidents happen and why often? As I said earlier, nobody wants to take responsibility for their actions or the things happening on our roads."

"content": "For example, the police are blaming motorists, who do not want to take any responsibility. However, responsibility lies with everyone. Earlier on, when I was taking public transport to Western via a shuttle, on reaching Nakuru, a passenger told the driver that he was driving slowly, yet he had business to do in the morning and needed to move very fast so that we could reach early. He actually went ahead and encouraged the driver to tamper with the speed governor. To my shock, other passengers supported him by saying that the vehicle was moving slowly and that we would not reach on time. The driver went ahead and tampered with the speed governor, and from Nakuru onward, the vehicle was flying at a terrific speed. When we reached our destination, the passengers congratulated the driver for having driven as fast as they wanted. Therefore, the blame should lie not only on the Police, NTSA, or the Cabinet Secretary for Transport and Roads but on all Kenyans."

"content": "Hon. Temporary Speaker, we have situations in this country. The Cabinet Secretary recently acted and said that NTSA should go back to the roads to implement what has not been enforced by the Traffic Police. Unfortunately, what is happening on the roads now is even worse. NTSA has launched a nationwide crackdown arresting motorists, but they are demanding bigger bribes than what the traffic police ask. In some quarters, motorists are saying that it is better to deal with traffic police than the NTSA officers. We need effective ways to enforce the existing laws"
