    "content": "will make sure that our youth are comfortable as they carry on with their activities because that is their only source of livelihood. These young people are our supporters; they vote for us. We need to make sure that they are comfortable when carrying out their work. It is important for NTSA to make sure that these young men are trained and have helmets to make sure that the rider and the passenger are safe. They should also be supported with shelter wherever they work. This is another form of employment. That is how they earn their living. Remember when we are campaigning we always promise them that we will protect them and make sure they are comfortable. The only way to ensure that they are comfortable is by making sure there are regulations to protect them. I would urge the police to give these young men an opportunity to look for an earning. That is the only way they can support their families and children. The police harass bodaboda operators. People consider bodaboda business not to be genuine and yet when you are in a hurry you use a bodaboda. We need to take the business seriously and support the operators to get licences, helmets and shelter. The Government should chip in to make sure these people are trained. They should not buy a motorcycle and the next day they are riding yet they do not even know the laws they are supposed to follow. I support the amendment and thank the mover for bringing this important discussion here so that we can support our youth. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
