    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I would like to comment on the issue of digital taxi operators; an issue that we have spoken about and said that at least the baseline should be Kshs300 when you are hiring or using a digital taxi operator. Looking at the operational cost, the cost of fuel and spare parts is also high, yet, most of the taxi operators who operate these digital taxi operators online are young people. Now that the public service cannot accommodate everybody, please, let this House ensure that the compliance and operational costs should be increased so that we protect the digital taxi operators. This matter has come up several times. Uber and other digital taxi operators should have an office in Kenya, so that when we raise such issues of digital operation of taxis, we give opportunity to many young people who drive the digital taxis. Even as we talk about baseline of KShs300, it should be noted that the fuel per litre is almost the same amount. So, if you are paying for that amount, what will you pay for the spare parts? Madam Temporary Speaker, secondly, I was shocked, and disappointed with the Senate Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations. The Committee should have taken this matter. You cannot have two Speakers, two Maces, two seals and two Clerks. I have been following Nyamira politics, and I know the governor is a very sharp politician. After the failed impeachment, he decided to create chaos in the County"
