"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This is a very weighty matter on almost four issues. Firstly, the number of people killed on these highways is alarming. It is almost becoming a very serious disaster for this country. Secondly, are the vehicles lost: bodaboda, mira a transportation ones, matatus, and lorries. Thirdly, there is a total disregard for traffic rules. This House needs to rise up and bring order to our roads. Additionally, not every bodaboda rider in this country has a helmet, yet it is for his own good and not for other people. If he gets into an accident, he will cause a loss to the family. Also, he will cost the Government in terms of medication. He will cause many issues. This House needs to take the issue raised by Hon. Karemba seriously. It needs to be discussed broadly, not only regarding the miraa transportation vehicles issue but also road accidents and adherence to traffic rules in this country. It is a very serious problem. Hon. Speaker, I support."

"content": " Hon. Speaker, this is going to the Committee. As it goes to the Committee, they should task people who are responsible for a number of issues. The Highway Code in Kenya will need to be reviewed to see if it is still sufficient. More importantly, there is a communication element to this. When we were growing up, there used to be a lot of sensitisation on how to use the road. It would start in nursery school. As a nursery school child, you would be taught how to cross the road. Today, as we speak, maybe NTSA does not commit any budget to public communication on road use. That is why you will find that as you drive along the super highway, there is a sign saying there should be no trucks on the highway speeding lane. However, you will see a lorry speeding under that sign. In the same breath, you will see an individual riding a motorcycle, and the pillion passenger is wearing a helmet while the rider is not. Then they will end up calling you for a"

Karemba has brought up so that we can prevent accidents before they happen. As the Committee prepares the report, it should consider whether we can commit budgets to communicating and sensitising the public on road safety issues. Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker."

Michuki turned around the matatu sector, and I believe that nothing has stopped the Cabinet Secretary for Transport from coming up with policies that will sanitise our transport sector. There is craziness everywhere, especially in the bodaboda sector. The riders our governors are using, even in our local towns, are causing much havoc because of reckless driving.

"content": "I suggest that we should come up with regulations and rules to guide the transportation of miraa in terms of time and how it is operated. Lastly, I encourage the agencies in the road sector to play their part. The Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA) is mandated to build roads within municipalities and cities. However, the carriageway they provide is very thin, yet it is in those areas that we have massive traffic from bodaboda riders and motor vehicles. I suggest that the Departmental Committee on Roads and Transport dig deeper into this issue and ensure that KURA re-standardises their roadworks to accommodate the carriage volumes that have grown over time. It is possible for Kenya to change just as Rwanda has done. Nothing stops Kenya from changing. We need the right people and the correct thinking from the Cabinet Secretary, and Kenya will be transformed. Thank you."
