    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I also thank Mheshimiwa King’ara for allowing me to add my voice to this Bill. I support the proposed amendment Bill. I will be very brief. The boda boda sector creates jobs for our youth and it also adds value in terms of economic empowerment. Boda boda also promote accessibility because if people want to rush somewhere, they help them save on time. The sector has helped many people to overcome challenges like poverty. As we all know, an idle mind is the devil’s workshop. The boda boda sector has helped our youth to overcome various challenges. We need to regulate the boda boda sector and make sure that all boda boda riders are registered and given hours of operation. They should also be encouraged to have their own Savings and Credit Co-operative Organisations (SACCOs) and a special medical cover because of the many accidents that have occurred in the past. They should also be given proper guidance and training. In conclusion, counselling centres should also be started, so that those who are going through challenges and trauma can receive counselling at the right time. Thank you. I support the Bill."
