    "content": "In many of our upcoming cities; those that we want to consider to be world class cities like Nairobi, Mombasa and Kisumu---What is the plan that we have come up with as a Government? We expect many of them to use the public road like the rest but there is no clear demarcated parts for them to park their motorcycles. What are their exact pick up points? We need to start thinking deeply about this particular problem and address it such that it will be easier to explain. It was not until the late and former Minister of Transport, the late hon. John Michuki, took a radical position on what to do with the matatu sector and reformed them. Many of the bad habits that they were known for until that particular point were done away with. The same is expected of the boda boda riders. During that campaign, he led from the front. He never spoke from the steps of Harambee House. He went to the bus stations and to each and every matatu terminus that is known within the city. He insisted that you must belt up and dictated the maximum number of passengers for each type of vehicle. There must be clear dedicated effort from those who are charged with this responsibility so that many of them can know and understand what is expected from them. Like the rest of Kenya, I condemn this act. I do not mind being informed by Sen. Sakaja."
