    "content": " Hon. Temporary Speaker, the senior-most who is here and spoke on this matter. As you have been told, clearly this is the senior-most. I wanted him to clarify on the issue of duplication because the only challenge to this law would be duplication. I was hoping that you would be listening, senior counsel, that in the event there is duplication of the law that is on the Floor of the House and the one that is in existence, then we would make a decision on that. But, where it is not existing, this is a very good law. It should go to the Third Reading and in that particular level, of course, as we usually do, the owner of this particular Bill will sit with the Committee and they will harmonise the amendments that will be there. From there, we can pick every good item in this particular law and incorporate them in the existing law. This will help the sector and it will be very good for this House and the sector of boda boda. Otherwise, the boda boda sector is in dire need of good regulation because they are doing good work and, like I have indicated, there are only 5 million of them. We need even to have as many as 25 to 30 million boda bodaoperating in this country, well regulated, earning an income and supporting the economy. That is the way we shall grow our economy. With those few or many remarks, I submit and support this Bill. Thank you."
