    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I also join my colleagues in thanking Sen. Sakaja for bringing this Statement. Secondly, I take this opportunity to appreciate all the Kenyan women especially on this International Women’s Day. I am sure there is a lot that we celebrate today as a result of achievements we have had as women in this country. Although I was not around, I have seen in social media what happened and that is completely unacceptable. This is a sector that has helped Kenyans and created employment for our youth. For example, in Isiolo where I come from, you will even find unemployed graduates riding boda bodas because that is where they earn their source of livelihoods. There is a lot that we need to do as leaders in this country as far as the boda boda secto r is concerned. In a society, you cannot lack elements of criminals. What happened on Friday is unacceptable. It is just a few individuals who are spoiling the name of the sector and that is unacceptable. I think we need to have a legislation that governs the boda boda sector . It is critical because that is a sector where many young people have lost their lives. Therefore, a lot needs to be done. Sometimes the sector is associated with crimes in most parts of this country. I thank the President. In his speech today, he gave a serious warning to those who were involved and the relevant Government institutions. However, as a society, the bodaboda sector has complimented transport system in our country. That is a commendable job especially by our youth."
