    "content": "Another issue I would like to look at is the proposal to delete the 15 per cent specific tax on motor cycles. I agree with it 100 per cent. I am on record, and I believe in 2006 or 2007, on having come to the House and pleading with it to exempt motor cycles up to 1250cc from paying duty, we saw everyone abandoning bicycles and moving to motorised vehicles. It is a sector that has grown. It has its challenges which are more of road safety rather than investment and that can be controlled. So, I am in total agreement with that and I want congratulate the Committee for saving the boda boda sector. If it works, do not fix it. I do not know what the Cabinet Secretary is trying to fix because boda boda people have not complained that they want change in specific rates. If I understood him, he said that it might be cheaper but the boda boda people are happy. Let us keep it that way and avoid any disruption."
