    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support this amendment Bill. The transport sector in the Republic of Kenya needs a lot of streamlining so that it can take care of emerging issues. The economy and population are growing and there are no retrogressive laws. The laws must be progressive in terms of changes happening in the society and more so within the transport sector of the Republic of Kenya. As mentioned in the articulation by the Hon. Member, the bodaboda sector has grown and is huge in every constituency. This needs to be well-regulated by a well-thought law. This is timely and the NTSA and other related supporting sectors need to be relooked into in a proper manner. The NTSA plays a very critical role and is well placed within the Ministry of Interior and National Administration as opposed to what many people think, that it is placed within the Ministry of Roads, Transport and Public Works. It is placed there because of the critical role it plays in facilitating the economy. I support these amendments and urge the entire House to fully support them so that we can regulate this sector in the most appropriate manner. In future, we need amendments to look at emissions affecting our environment as a result of many vehicles and engines. Probably, they are not very well calibrated and do not meet the required standards hence end up emitting huge amounts of carbon into our environment. For the transport sector, the same Act needs to be amended in future. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, I support."
