    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I congratulate the Committee of Information, Communication and Technology led by Sen. Moi, one of our principals in the One Kenya Alliance (OKA). I thank the other principal, Sen. Wetangula, for his comments. I would like to mention just two things that are really critical. I am glad that Sen. Moi is here and that he is listening. He has spoken about two areas that we need to conclude and sort out as a House. The first one is the issue of digital hailing applications. This is a matter that we have tried to deal with from 2015 before I came to the Senate. Our drivers in Nairobi, Kisumu and Mombasa drive taxis for digital firms like Ubers, Bolt and all those other applications. These companies have been competing in what we call arrest to the bottom. Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. brought a question to my Committee on Labour and Social Welfare, which we dealt with jointly and we started the process. In fact, at some point the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) started doing public participation on the regulations but COVID-19 came and they stopped. I am not sure you use Ubers, but I am sure sometimes you request Ubers for your workers and staff to use."
