• 19 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: I acknowledge that we, indeed, have a problem of motorists interfering or driving on pedestrian walkways. However, the police have not failed to take action. As a matter of fact, the police have been active, vigorously combating this offence. The Traffic Police Officers have been arresting and prosecuting motorists who drive on pedestrian walkways in contravention of Traffic (Amendment) Act No.10A of 2012. For example, between the month of January and July, 2012 the following cases of driving on pedestrian walkways were detected and prosecuted successfully in Nairobi and Mombasa City. In Nairobi alone, 1,760 cases were detected, prosecuted and ... view
• 19 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Regarding the measures that are being taken to ensure that the pedestrian walkways are not used by motorists, I want to state here that the Government through the Ministry of Roads and the Ministry of Nairobi Metropolitan is working around the clock to improve transport networks in the cities and other urban areas by constructing by- passes, filling potholes, expansion of rail and other transport facilities so that the traffic jams which contribute to motorists driving on pedestrian walkways are eliminated.

• 19 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have already mentioned that retraining of police officers is already being undertaken and I agree with Mr. C. Kilonzo that this problem is there. The specific case that he is citing is unfortunate but all police officers are under instruction to prosecute motorists who infringe on this. In fact, I want to use this opportunity to warn motorists who have this habit because in the public transport sector there is a lot of indiscipline. So, they stand warned that if they infringe on this, it will be taken very seriously and they will be prosecuted. view

• 19 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am aware that we have motorbikes carrying sometimes up to three people but the reference the hon. Member was making was regarding selective application of the law and that is the one that I addressed myself to. The police are under instruction to arrest such people and prosecute them. view
• 19 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I acknowledge that because I come from an area where boda boda is used heavily. That is Bungoma County. I know that that malpractice is there. I now issue an order that if such individuals are found, they should be arrested and prosecuted. view
• 19 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, could the Assistant Minister be specific to the rules he is referring to? view
• 19 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not aware of any traffic rules which were suspended. If the Member is referring to the so-called “Michuki rules”, I want to assure him that they still exist. The traffic rules still exist. They are covered under the Traffic Act. They can only be withdrawn if the Act is amended. view
