• 24 Oct 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I second. view
• 23 Oct 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to second The County Planning (Roads, Pavements and Parking Bays) Bill, 2018 that has been brought by Sen. Ledama Olekina. It is a timely Bill because we are in a period where counties are beginning and should have taken off by now. view
• 23 Oct 2018 in Senate: Having gone through this Bill, it will provide a good roadmap and consistency to most counties across the country in some of the issues that have been neglected in most of these areas. The Bill stipulates ways to provide access to major roads in a manner that ensures the safety of road users. view
• 23 Oct 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, as most of us have seen from our different areas, a number of people are killed or seriously injured by vehicles when trying to cross a major road from one side to the other or to access a commercial building. We need some order The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 23 Oct 2018 in Senate: in the planning so that we are able to ensure safety and bring order to our communities across the board. Madam Temporary Speaker, the Bill has clearly stipulated the manner in which commercial buildings will be accessed from major roads. This is important because in most of the towns and cities everywhere across the board, there is no order. Some of the buildings are accessed from one side of the road, others from the other side and some in a way that does not make sense. If a vehicle is turning, another one that is on the road could easily ... view
• 23 Oct 2018 in Senate: rights on the roads than the other road users. It, therefore, becomes extremely problematic. With this Bill streamlining that area, it will be a very big win for the safety of road users across the board. view
• 23 Oct 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, we also need to see more pavements so as to bring cleaner and better looking roads and areas within our cities and towns. By the Bill requiring that pavements be put in place once we have erected a building, it will make our cities more conducive for walking. This is because right now, without the pavements, one can easily break a leg as one is walking because there may be a hole on the road. It could also be just dusty and an eyesore across the board. Therefore, once these pavements have been put up, we will ... view
• 23 Oct 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, on the issue of parking bays, I draw an example of my county where we have this area called Salgaa on the major highway from Nakuru to Eldoret. This is one of the areas we have seen many accidents over the years and many people have lost their lives. The big issue in that area is that many trucks stop there on their way to Uganda, Rwanda or wherever else, but we do not have a designated parking area there. Trucks park on both sides of the already narrow road, thus making it even narrower. Sometimes due ... view
• 23 Oct 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I can also see that the Bill makes an exception for the petroleum tankers when they are offloading. This shows that Sen. Olekina has thought through this Bill and what he wants the law to achieve. Having designated separate parking areas, as the law requires currently, gives an exception of how they can park when they are offloading the very dangerous products they may be carrying. That goes to show that Sen. Olekina thought through the Bill and he has taken into account a lot of the issues that we come across. view
