    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Transport is one of the key sectors which can create many job opportunities that can employ our young people. As we support this Petition, it is high time we called upon the Cabinet Secretary for Roads and Transport to ensure this sector is well-regulated and has incentives so that we can have many investors in this sector. Over 50 per cent of those at the bottom of the earning pyramid spend their income on transport. That is a huge percentage knowing that the other 50 per cent of the income is spent on rent and food. For that cost to come down, we require proper reorganisation of this sector so that we get more investors and ensure that the boda boda and the taxi drivers do not make losses. Everyone must be able to survive and provide for their family. This Petition is timely. It also calls upon the Cabinet Secretary for Roads and Transport to put in more time in organising to ensure that we have more investors reorganising this sector. This will enable everyone in that sector to go home happy after making some money. At the same time, it will reduce the cost of those at the bottom of the income pyramid. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
