10 Dec 2014 in National Assembly:
Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I wish to join my colleagues in congratulating hon. Lekuton for this very important Bill. Increasingly, Kenyans are now becoming road users than ever before. There are more vehicles on our roads. There is an increase in the so-called boda bodas on our roads. More public transport vehicles are now coming onto the roads. As this continues to happen, the challenges in terms of road safety are also becoming a nightmare to our country. Because most of our roads are old, they were not designed to ensure communication on traffic compliance or safety measures such as ...

subsidizing school transport and removing certain taxes from school buses, so that parents can afford to take their children to school, and are not forced to go to boda bodas and Proboxes, which are becoming increasingly dangerous. There are speed limits around schools. Unfortunately, for many Kenyans, even when we see signs of children crossing a road, we do not observe the speed limit. You will see somebody on that spot driving at over 100 kilometres per hour.

10 Dec 2014 in National Assembly:
This is very dangerous and I want to say that this particular Bill imposes penalties to offenders, people who cause accidents on such spots and people who cause accidents by carelessly carrying children in un-roadworthy vehicles. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as I end, the other proposal which this Bill talks of is the uniformity of, for example, colours for the buses. As Kenyans, we need to be responsible. If you see a vehicle carrying children and it is being driven dangerously and you are a responsible Kenyan, use the powers given to you under the Constitution of citizenship to arrest ...

Hon. Speaker, the nominee for Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Co- ordination of National Government, hon. (Maj-Gen.) Nkaissery should go out and wait for grilling tomorrow morning.

10 Dec 2014 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, the reduction of the publication period for these two constitutional Bills, with a deadline of 25thMay, 2014, is very important. Even though we extended the period by nine months, four months have already elapsed. We need to fast track the deliberations on these two Bills to ensure that we are not caught up by time again, seeing that their passage will also involve their consideration by the Senate. I urge that the period of publication for these two Bills; the Public Audit Bill, 2014 and the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Bill, 2014, be reduced from 14 to ...
