    "content": "Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to contribute to the Statement by Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale. Boda bodas are present throughout Africa and beyond. It is a critical transport system helping people in a rural part of this country. They are facing a lot of challenges from the police and criminals abducting them. We need to protect this industry, which is very important for this country. It has created employment and will create more employment opportunities for our young people. We need to have a basic traffic system implemented or observed by boda boda operators. The Government has done some very important initiatives for the boda boda operators. Motorcycles under 250cc are zero-rated. This will help a young man operating the boda boda to save money for his future living standard. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in support of Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale's Statement, I would want the Government and the police in particular to understand that those operating the boda boda are our people and must be given maximum respect. They must be taken care of as Kenyans and as our children. Thank you very much."
