• 9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: should do this beginning November so that when we approach December when we have many fatalities, we have our young men trained. view
• 9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, many questions remain unanswered on road accidents. Those questions, in the opinion of the Mover, transcend the mandate of a single Committee of this House. Questions of enforcement and whether the police have sufficiently pulled their weight are a preserve of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security. Questions on infrastructure, transport and the ones we have read fall under the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing. Availability of adequate laws and legislation might be taken up by the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. view
• 9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: The massive health impact created by those accidents can be correctly canvassed by the Departmental Committee on Health of this House. The cost to the economy as a result of the accidents in Kenya - I had said 5 per cent - is a preserve of the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade. This is, therefore, a multi-faceted and complex matter of national priority. The Select Committee would like to look at these issues thoroughly and in a detailed manner and in consultation with all the committees that are involved. view
• 9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: In this decade of action on road safety, this House must have, in my view, a face on road safety. Issues of road accidents cannot be reduced to tuff wars between which committee and which committee of this House. view
• 9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: This country has no shortage of laws because we have them in abundance. There is the Traffic Act of 2012, the “ Michuki Rules” and other regulations like the ones recently released by the Cabinet Secretary. The list is long. view
• 9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: The elephant in the room that this House must tackle practically and decisively is the issue of enforcement. Enforcement will compel our drivers to comply with the rules and regulations that we have. Effective enforcement will lead to rapid reduction in the accidents that occur. Enforcement will also have a long-lasting effect on driver’s behaviour. Research has just shown this. In seeking solutions of enforcement, this Select Committee, if adopted, must have a candid discussion with the public. It must have a candid discussion with the public and other stakeholders on our current enforcement mechanisms. Difficult questions must be asked. ... view
• 9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: A country like Ghana has traffic wardens that are separate from the police service. Would that be the way this country would like to go? The jury is out there. Manufacturing defects continue to be our major issue in this country and we do not even have the statistics. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: The top of the bus that rolled at Ntulele came off when it rolled once. Those who saw it on television saw a bus without a cover. Does it mean that this was cobbled in a view
• 9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: workshop? How could the top of the bus be the first thing to come out? When it rolled the second time, the bus’ top cut the heads of passengers. If we had looked at this matter, we would have adequately reduced the fatalities. view
• 9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, this is a matter of great national interest. view
