    "content": "involved is registered and we know who they are and from where. If anything happens, we can trace the operator. When bodaboda operators cause accidents, they disappear and you cannot get them. It is only good that when somebody buys a motorcycle, they are registered so that we know where they are operating from. If anything happens, as it does every other day, we can trace the particular individual and act accordingly. It is important that we register and legalise bodaboda operations. I have been to Pakistan, where there are many bodaboda and tuktuk operators all over the place. They provide very good service. In fact, we should go to Pakistan for benchmarking to understand how the sector is managed. It is one of the best. I did not go to India but I found Pakistan very organised. They are very good in service delivery because they are registered. When somebody is supposed to deliver a parcel or food to you, you can track them because they are registered. In Kenya, bodaboda operators are not registered. If we do not register them, we will not develop our country. If we register them, the economy will move a step further. Another thing I would like to mention is security within the sector. If we do not register individuals operating in the sector, we will continue to have insecurity. There is a lot of insecurity that is associated with bodaboda operators. Thugs use bodaboda to do odd things. The best thing to do is to adopt this Report and have bodaboda operators recognised and registered for security reasons. With those few remarks, I support the Report."
