    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for allowing me to weigh in on this Motion which majors on a public Petition by the motorcycle riders and delivery personnel. Motorcycle riders form one of the vital organs in the transport sector in this country. They are the largest group of transporters in this country. Many people use motorcycles. Most of us use them when we do our stuff in the constituencies. We normally engage them because they can easily access anywhere. They can transport anybody to any place without fear or problems, and they are not expensive. When such a Petition is presented before this House, those of us who understand their importance must ensure that we support it and improve the issues they raise. The safety of motorcycle riders is very important. Sometimes they are called at night and they take customers to dangerous places. It is important that if we fix these gadgets, we will easily track them or they can easily tell from the offices or their headquarters where the motorcycle rider has taken the customer. Somebody can pick a motorcycle right now, do whatever they want to do and nobody can track or trace where they are. This is important for their safety. Secondly, on the same note, safety against theft is also important. Some people are malicious and may want to take advantage of the young men who ride motorcycles for a living. They steal the motorcycles from them. Once we put them in the bracket of Bolt and Uber, the safety of the riders and motorcycles will be assured. Let us remember that nowadays both male and female riders are engaged in this business. Sometimes it is very dangerous for our ladies to ride them. We should improve this recommendation so that we not only have gadgets that show where a rider is, but we can also put trackers that can assist in tracing riders wherever they are. We can also have alarms, so that in case of any issue, they can assist us in tracing and assisting them. We must assist these young riders because this organization has to be improved to have a countrywide SACCO. We can subdivide them into regions or even counties. We should improve their businesses so that they can do legitimate business and earn a living. Most of the The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
