    "content": "First, I would like to thank my sister who is also my neighbour and quite a very able Member of Parliament from Teso South for highlighting issues that affect our bodaboda. The bodaboda industry is very key because it accounts for very huge financial transactions in this country. These are people who are always used when people feel that they want to achieve their own interests, but immediately after that, they are left to rot. These are the same people who help us during campaign times, mobilisation of our rallies and if we want to disseminate information to the people, these are the people who help us. Bodaboda also play a very key role especially down in the villages where they are also security by themselves. We have seen that they have tried to help when people steal. Thieves have been lynched by bodaboda riders. Of course, I believe in the rule of law, but at times, people who live by fire must also be extinct by fire. What is happening lately in this industry is very sad. These young men and sometimes women are losing their lives terribly. On this, I want to urge our security operators to not just focus on chang'aa and busaa in the villages or small things that do not make sense. We want you to come and instil security at the villages and in our towns. The security agencies are now focusing on things that do not matter. I wish the Leader of the Majority Party - who at times speaks carelessly like yesterday saying most of our Members were not here - was here. I wish he was also here so that he takes this to the Government of William Ruto."
