• 27 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have indicated that the bypass concept was started in the year 1970 but the project that we gave out was an engineer, procure and construct. This simply means you design, procure and construct. You do the whole project. We are doing what we are calling over-passes and under-passes in most of the roads. So we will not have roundabouts. In all areas that we are going through human settlement, we have done all the necessary mitigation factors and we will ensure that where we ought to pay or compensate, we will do that. However, where there ... view
• 18 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. view
• 18 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: My Ministry is deeply concerned about the safety of both pedestrians and motorists, given that improvement of the road network has not translated into a commensurate reduction in road accidents. view
• 18 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: I am aware of the motor vehicle accidents around Kimende and Nyambari Trading Centres, some of which have resulted into loss of human lives. I have, therefore, as an immediate measure, instructed my officers to install appropriate road signs and markings near the two centres in order to caution both pedestrians crossing the road as well as the speeding motorists. In addition, my Ministry is continuously monitoring all accident spots with a view to instituting the most appropriate measures to prevent the occurrence of the accidents. view
• 18 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also wish to table a list of the accidents we have had there in these two sections for the last three years. view
• 18 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: In 2007, we had 21 fatal cases, 40 serious injuries and 34 slight injuries. In 2008, we had 29 fatal cases, 24 serious injuries and 47 slight injuries. view
• 18 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: In the first eight months of 2009, we had 19 fatal cases, 24 serious injuries and 44 slight injuries. It is obvious that the number of accidents is on the rise. My Ministry will do everything possible together with the community there to ensure that we stop this trend. view
• 18 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, there may not be a direct question arising from the hon. Member, but I also wish to add that we have been trying to conduct a survey in view
• 18 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I hope I have understood the question well. I wish to say that it is quite obvious that most of the foot brides that we have built are not actually being used by our people, partly because of insecurity. There are certain parts of this country where foot bridges have been built, but if you use them, you do so, at your own risk. So, I think there are many issues involved. We, as a Ministry, want to do an awareness campaign because our safety and that of the people around us, is everybody’s responsibility. The Ministry ... view
• 18 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speakers, Sir, I agree with the hon. Member that the “Michuki rules” substantially reduced the number of accidents in the country, especially with regard to speed limits. If drivers were to drive at acceptable limits, then the possibility of accidents is greatly reduced. I want to concur with the hon. Member that the re-introduction of the “Michuki rules” would definitely bring a remarkable reduction. Clearly that does not fall within my Ministry. view
