    "content": "It is important to note that there is a cartel, and Hon. Mary Emaase has pointed it out very well. There are people who go out and map out the bodaboda riders who are unable to pay, and they become victims. I have seen it in my constituency, here in Nairobi, and I am sure that is the case countrywide. It is time we put in place a legislative framework that will govern this specific industry ranging from the loans, saccos and how they operate. I want to note what Hon. K.J has said. He just picked everything that I had written here, that we do not have a proper framework of operation for bodaboda. You can be sure that there are bodaboda stolen from Dagoretti South and Embakasi West which end up in Uganda or far- flung areas. This is a problem that is replicating everywhere. It is important that we protect the bodaboda operators, that we look at our boundaries as a country, and ensure that no bodaboda from Kenya should cross into Uganda or any other country without the knowledge of the Government and the relevant agencies at the border points so that we can ensure that we protect our bodaboda operators. I congratulate Hon. Emaase and tell her that it is time. This is a start, and we will support her moving forward."
