    "content": "“1) No person shall use a motorcycle for commercial purposes in a county unless it is registered in accordance with this Act.” There is a small challenge there. When we have that conversation. Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, we then have to define, either in this Bill or through a common understanding, what a commercial purpose is; where it begins and where it ends. In this Bill when you read through, I see two levels of commercial engagements. There is the passenger and the load. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the question I ask myself is, if I buy a motorcycle to do my private transportation like going to church or any other activity; and then occasionally, I have sufficient eggs at home and I use it to carry them to the market, is that a commercial function? Where I come from, there is Kabati Market, which has two market days; on Mondays and Thursdays. When I ride my bike to Kabati and I have bought a few things and maybe, I also run a small kiosk at home, and on Friday, I carry a box or two of biscuits and sweets to sell in my kiosk, is that a commercial function? We have to define commercial properly, so that there is clear understanding that you can own a motorcycle, but not for commercial purposes. That will now bring clarity, especially on the part of the enforcement officers; that on the day they meet Sen. Wambua riding his motorbike from Kabati to Kalimba and he is carrying a crate of soda or something, they will not ask me for the commercial license of the motorcycle. Therefore, that needs to be clearly defined."
