    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, being election time, most of these boda boda operators are used. There might be tendency by the leadership of this country or politicians to go slow on it. However, the direction they are taking requires firm action. We have to be clear and target the rogue parts of the boda boda sector by clamping down on them seriously so that in future, that sector is streamlined. We know what the Late Hon. Michuki did in the matatu sector. They were so rogue but when he clamped them down, there was resistance but they still complied. We need that kind of firmness in dealing with the boda boda sector so that we stop the menace and unlawful practices they have on our roads. In my county, as I said earlier, it has become a security issue where they are being used by criminals to execute people in broad daylight because of their mobility. That has taken a life of its own. We do not know who is killing who because they are using those swift systems such as boda bodas. This needs to be taken seriously. The security system of this country needs to treat this as an evolving source of insecurity in this country not only on the roads but even on the livelihoods of other Kenyans. Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker."
