"content": "I think Senator Khalwale had a good idea but he panicked. My prayer is that the Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure thinks around it and finds ways to regulate and bring order to that sub-sector. As many have said, you admire how bodabodas operate when you go to Rwanda. Each carries one passenger, both wearing helmets. It is extremely organised. They observe traffic lights even during traffic jams. Ours only need proper legislation. If possible, let us establish a directorate that works from the top to down, that is, to the grassroots. That way, they can be organised into Savings and Credit Co-operative Organisations (SACCOs). Then we can remove the criminals who have infiltrated the sub- sector."

I do not understand how that Bill came to the National Assembly, and now they are calling for its withdrawal. I do not understand how that process happened. As the National Assembly, we can agree to call upon the Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure to look into how they can bring order in that sub-sector. We can bring order, and it will work for the genuine bodaboda operators. It will also assist us to do away with the criminals who have had a chance to intrude into the sub-sector."

"content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I also want to support the withdrawal of this Bill. Initially, I was not for the idea of its withdrawal, but I was convinced by the House Business Committee that withdrawing it is the right thing so that we can bring another one that is originating from this House. I was convinced by Hon. Kajwang’, and I am convinced. That sub-sector is very important. It came up at the right time. It is similar to the case where we did not have mobile phones and then they came as a saviour for everybody. We used to even walk five kilometres to someone's home, and you find the person is not there."

"content": "came to save the transport sector. It has become very easy to travel. Where there are no roads in the rural area, people can still access the places. In the City, if you are late and there is a traffic jam, you just get a bodaboda and you reach your destination as quickly as possible. The bodaboda sub-sector is very important, and we need to regulate it. The negative things that are done by bodabodas outweigh the good ones. The same bodabodas are being used by hit men. Additionally, they are also used to snatch mobile phones. After they steal from you, they ride very fast, leaving you wondering how you will run after a speeding motorbike. It is good to note that there are good things from that sub-sector. Some of them are so organised that they have Savings and Credit Co-operative Organisation (SACCOS) where they contribute even Ksh100 daily and, at the end of the day, they give one person the money so that they can buy him or her a motorcycle to do the business. There are good things in that sub-sector, but there are also bad ones. One of the bad things is the accidents. In my constituency, I have lost count of the people who have been maimed and disabled. Some have had their legs amputated due to multiple fractures after being knocked down by bodabodas. In fact, this week, a young man ended up in a mortuary after being knocked down by a bodaboda last week. Countless things have happened. When we regulate the sub-sector, we need the law enforcement agencies to ensure that"

We have trained them not to ride without helmets, insurance, and to carry only one person. However, even after the training, they still go back to their old habits of carrying as many people as possible.
