    "content": "owners and riders must have a recourse where there is unjustifiable harassment by the police. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, all in all, this Bill covers almost all the challenges that we face in this boda boda industry. Issues of drug movement here and there, have been addressed in Clause 20. The issues of offences have also been addressed. With further amendments, particularly on the issue of Clause 26 that talks about a fee of Kshs100,000 for an offence committed by boda boda riders. The Kshs100,000 is too high for our youth in the village who are in this industry. That figure should be scaled down, so that the offenders have a responsibility to pay for their offences. At the same time, the amount should be manageable so that we do not discourage our unemployed youth from earning their living in this industry. Mr. Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I support this Bill with amendments. I encourage hon. Members to also support this Bill with amendments."
