    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity. I rise to support the Statement by Sen. Tabitha Mutinda on the assault of a female passenger by a matatu conductor. When you watch the clip that Sen. Tabitha Mutinda has referred to, it is very worrying on where our society is going. You are a passenger, you know and have given your destination, the matatu passes your destination, you ask why, you are removed and slapped. It makes no sense. It makes you wonder whether the tout was in his normal senses, drunk or intoxicated. It tells a lot about the society. As the Committee looks at that Statement, it is good for them to relook at how our transport system is. Where are the Michuki rules? When Michuki established rules on how to operate the matatu sector, we saw uniforms for the first time. I hope that this Committee will go check and interview the touts to see how they look like. Do they still have uniforms? Are people seating in a very respectable manner? When Michuki Rules came, people sat in a very respectable manner because women have had a raw deal in this public transport. They have had opportunities where somebody comes and sits on you and I have heard those complaints. People hold others inappropriately in these matatus."
