"content": " Asante sana, Mhe. Spika wa Muda kwa kunipa fursa ya kuchangia suala hili la ajali barabarani ambalo limeleta hasara kubwa katika taifa letu. Ni huzuni kubwa jinsi tanavyopoteza maisha katika barabara zetu. Pia, kuna kubadilishwa kwa hali ya kimaumbile ya watu wetu; mtu anatoka nyumbani akiwa mzima na anaporudi baada ya wiki moja ni mlemavu. Hiki ni kitu cha kusikitisha sana katika barabara zetu. Mhe. Bady ambaye ni mwanakamati wa Kamati ya Uchukuzi, amezungumza wazi wazi juu ya mambo ambayo yanafaa kurekebishwa. Mimi nitazingatia Wizara ya Barabara. Wizara hii inahitajika kuwekeza ili ipunguze ajali. Ukienda nchi za Ulaya na nchi jirani kama vile Rwanda na Tanzania, idadi ya visa vya ajali imerudi chini. Hapa kwetu, shida ni kuwa tuna ajali nyingi. Watu wakitaka kutoka wasafiri asubuhi kama familia, wataomba sana maombi ya kufika salama, kuenda kaburini, na kuamkia huko kwa sababu hawana uhakika wa kufika. Wanapokuwa barabarani, wale waliowaacha nyumbani huwa na wasiwasi na huwapigia simu kuhakikisha kuwa wamefika salama ndio washukuru. Hii ni kwa sababu barabara zetu zina matatizo. Hiii Wizara ihakikishe imesoma sehemu zile zingine. Kuna barabara zimetengenezwa ndogo kwa upana hadi kupishana ni shida. Madereva wa Kenya ni wazuri sana wakienda nchi za Ulaya kwa sababu barabara ni pana na wanaweza kupishana na madereva wengine. Ajali nyingi hapa ni gari kwa gari kwa sababu mmoja anataka kupishwa na mwingine amefika. Ni kwa sababu barabara zimefinyika sana. Vile vile, Wizara lazima iweke ishara kwenye barabara ya kuonyesha kona mbaya au mahali pana teleza kukinyesha. Hakuna ishara hapa. Ni wewe uende tu. Hata ishara ya kizuizi mwendo hakuna. Utaenda upande ghafla kisha ujipate msituni ama uwagonge wanaouza mboga kando ya barabara. Lingine ni ushirikiano baina ya washika dau wote wa masuala ya barabara. Ikiwa mabasi yanasababisha ajali, lazima Wizara iwaite washika dau kuzungumza nao kujua mahali shida iko. Ikiwa madereva wanafanyishwa kazi ya ziada, mtawaeleza utaratibu unaofaa. Hapa kwetu hakuna kuita washika dau. Mtu anakaa ofisini na kuamua kuanzia kesho huyu dereva anafaa kushikwa. Hiyo haiwezi saidia taifa. Lazima watu wakae chini wajadiliane. Kuna polisi wazuri na kuna wale wanapenda pesa. Mkijua yule ambaye anapenda pesa, mwacheni akalinde benki halafu mlete wengine wakulinda barabara. Anayependa pesa awekwe karibu na benki ahesabu na kunusa harufu ya pesa na maafisa wazuri wawekwe barabarani kusimamisha magari na kushtaki madereva kwa haki, na sio kwa sababu hawajapatiwa Ksh200. Ni sisi wenyewe kama serikali tupange mambo, siyo masuala ya madereva. Ikiwa dereva amefanya ajali mara ya kwanza na kushtakiwa, akifanya mara ya pili basi ako na doa. Leseni yake ichukuliwe. Sio kuamka na kusema madereva watarudi mafunzo. Sio wote ambao wako na matatizo. Ningependa kuendelea zaidi, lakini Mhe. Zamzam ana maneno mazuri. Akipewa nafasi kwa muda wangu, kutakuwa kuzuri. Asante sana, Mhe. Spika wa Muda."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this important Motion. From the outset, I wish to thank Hon. Oscar Nabulindo for such a precedent-setting Motion to discuss the safety of roads in Kenya. It is very unfortunate that we lose too many people in this country through road accidents. This can be attributed to very many factors. One of the issues is road designs. There are roads where culverts are not complete. There are also areas with no proper drainage. The Ministry should ensure that the design of roads meets the needed threshold. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

"content": "What kills this country is corruption. There are too many pieces of legislation. I have had the advantage of practising in the courts. The Traffic Act (Cap 403) is explicit in terms of the provisions on traffic offences. There are various statutes that regulate traffic in this country. There are too many regulations, rules and guidelines. What lacks in this country is enforcement. It is wrong to blame the Cabinet Secretary for Transport and Infrastructure because there are too many enforcement officers that the laws in this country provides for. There are traffic officers on our roads. It is about corruption. Police officers all over the country have been requesting for transfers. Most of them want to be placed on roads as traffic officers. The reason for that is because they want to corrupt their ways to get quick money but they do not enforce the laws in place. The other weak link is our courts. There are allegations of massive corruption when it comes to prosecution of traffic offenders in our country. Some people find ways to be given penalties that are not provided for in law. As a House, we need to consider amending existing laws. There is an offence in this country called causing death by careless driving, which provides for certain penal consequences. Some of those penal consequences need to be reviewed. If, for example, someone has caused death by careless driving and you give a fine of Ksh10,000, that is something we have to look at as a House. This House is a law-making body. We must sit down and review traffic laws in this country and ensure that we provide penalties that can set an example to others who want to commit traffic offences. Finally, accidents in this country could be attributed to individuals. It goes to our morality as a nation. There are certain moral values that we uphold. There are certain decent acts that guide us and that we should abide by on the roads. For example, on the issue of obstruction, why should you overlap? It is an issue of morality. There is no school on morality. Morals are inherent values that individuals must have so that they can behave in a manner that respects other road users. In as much as we wish to blame other authorities, we should have conscience on the roads. Relevant stakeholders should also enforce the laws on our roads. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. This is a problem of a big magnitude. The problem is that we approach things with knee-jerk reaction. We do not do analysis of what causes the problems to know whether it is road structures and road signs, vehicle failure, unroadworthy vehicles, human error such as drunk-driving, speeding, or poor eyesight. We should do that and then use it to implement planned enforcement, not suddenly seeing people on the roads when something happens. We need to analyse why accidents happen. Indeed, that is how people learn. If analysis is done regularly according to the law and offenders imprisoned, people will follow the law. But, if we wait until something happens and we do not even know the root causes, nothing will happen. With that, Hon. Temporary Speaker, I support the Motion. I would ask that we analyse why things happen."

Fatalities arising from road carnage far surpass fatalities from Covid-19, terrorist attacks and other causes of death in this country. It is nearly the number one killer in Kenya. In recognition of this concern, the President today launched the National Road Safety Action Plan to kick-start national campaigns towards road safety.
