    "content": "the rising number of incidences resulting from boda and the rising incidences of kidnapping, robberies, mugging and other insecurities caused by boda boda riders. Videos of criminals committing crimes on boda boda have been trending in the last couple of days. Most recently a video of a traffic police officer on duty who was robbed of his mobile phone while controlling traffic on of the major roads in the city in broad day light. Most Kenyans are scared for their safety and that of their electronic devices when they spot a rider approaching. That is not good with the large number of both users and income earners depending on that mode of transport. It behooves the Government to closely monitor this fast growing industry as there is at least a total number of 4.8 million people who depend on the boda industry. Mr. Speaker, Sir, there is need to amend the existing pieces of legislation to safeguard the economic gains that the boda boda industry has achieved as the country risks running down the gains that the boda boda sector needs to achieve its proper regulations which have not been put in place to address the glaring problem emanating from the sector. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you."
