I oppose this Motion not because the Member did not bring out the issues clearly but because listening to the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing, I have no doubt whatsoever in my mind that his Committee is handling exactly the same issues that were brought by hon.

Hon. Deputy Speaker, we have lost so many lives of the young, old, very important persons and the very humble, not only through road accidents but even through air crashes and ferry accidents. These are things which need to be addressed by the National Transport and Safety Authority. As a person, I think empowering this Authority so that it can handle these issues with the seriousness and the intensity it deserves will be very crucial.

I stand guided hon. Deputy Speaker. Thank you. Resuming my contribution on the Motion, I note with a lot of concern the issues brought up by my sister here.

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Motion but, first, I want to thank the Mover for bringing it to the House because it is timely. As much as I do not come from a floods prone county, I come from a county where when it rained in those good old days, it used to bring happiness to children. This is no longer the case. Rains have turned from being a blessing to almost a curse to some communities. The damage that rains cause on the infrastructure, and the havoc that comes with it, cannot be ...

Thank you, hon. Speaker. I appreciate the Leader of Majority Party for his statement. However, I would like to seek clarification from him because it is an open secret that the equipment that our security forces are using is wanting. We recently saw the General Service Unit (GSU) officers pushing their Land Rover and
