• 8 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: 5 Thursday, 8th April, 2010(P) signs are removed and motorists are driving on a road they are not familiar with, accidents are bound to occur. So, it is a concern that we are working on. I would also like to tell the hon. Member that, as to how the contractor will actually be able to achieve our desired goal is not the business of the Ministry. Ours is to state what we want done. view
• 8 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to agree with the Member that the issue of vandalism of road signs and all other metal railings, especially in serious corners, has been a major concern. I think one of the things that we would really advocate is the issue of whether we should have scrap metals being sold or bought in the markets. As long as the market is there, people will go on to vandalise them. view
• 8 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Secondly, we would also want to sensitize the people that when they steal the same roads signs, they are the very same people who are going to suffer. So, I think it is not a one-answer question. We, as leaders, need to work to sensitize our people that the responsibility of road safety belongs to all of us. view
• 8 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to agree with the hon. Member on his suggestion. One of the options we are considering is to use other materials that will also be useful and would not be bought by scrap metal dealers. This could be plastic or any other material, including concrete, for that matter. So, there are many others synthetic materials that we can consider using instead of metal. view
• 8 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I sympathise with the hon. Member because I am a frequent user of that road. Indeed, I agree with him that it has been a major black spot. view
• 8 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have come up with an elaborate road safety programme that will include educating the people who live within this area because we realize that we cannot make foot bridges throughout the entire highway. view
• 8 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Secondly, we are also considering putting up soft bumps that will be able to reduce the speed because that is a high population area. Indeed, in that way, we will be able to address that section. Lastly, sensitizing members of the public, especially in areas where accidents occur a lot view
• 8 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: 6 Thursday, 8th April, 2010(P) will be done. Schools will be part of the programme that we will be launching very soon, so that as the children cross back and forth, we reduce the accidents arising. view
• 8 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, indeed, I agree with the hon. Member that we have received various complaints in terms of the inconveniences along Nairobi-Thika Road. But I also want to assure the hon. Member that the road construction actually commenced last year. It is projected to be completed by the end of June 2011, if there is no delay in the project. So, I want to assure the hon. Member that we will ensure that the project is completed on time to reduce the inconvenience of the road user. view
• 8 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to concur with the hon. Member that, indeed, that is the situation. As I had said earlier, we will ensure that, that matter is corrected immediately. view
