    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I also rise to say pole to the constituents of Hon. Mary Emaase on this issue. It is not an isolated issue in the constituency where Hon. Emaase serves; it is an issue touching on all the other constituencies around Kenya where the bodaboda sector is vibrant. When I hear us spending an afternoon speaking about the bodaboda, I feel very happy that I came to this House. It is for these reasons that I also asked the people of Manyatta Constituency to use them. When we were running around campaigning, one of the most reverberating words were bodaboda, mama mboga, and those other hustlers. Therefore, this House must really stand tall on the campaign mantra of what almost both sides of the divide used to ask for votes from the people. Mark you, I have been a bodaboda rider. In my third year of university, I rode a bodaboda at Baba Dogo and used the money to pay my hostel and upkeep at the university. These are the people who really require our support as a House. I am happy that we are talking about their security, but we have to call it like it is. The biggest challenge is our police officers. If there are people who face the wrath of the police in this country, it is the bodaboda people. This is because the moment a bodaboda is lost, and you find cartels that are driving the stealing of bodaboda, a police officer must be in the middle of all that problem.
