In the City, if you are late and there is a traffic jam, you just get a bodaboda and you reach your destination as quickly as possible. The bodaboda sub-sector is very important, and we need to regulate it. The negative things that are done by bodabodas outweigh the good ones. The same bodabodas are being used by hit men. Additionally, they are also used to snatch mobile phones. After they steal from you, they ride very fast, leaving you wondering how you will run after a speeding motorbike. It is good to note that there are good things from that sub-sector. Some of them are so organised that they have Savings and Credit Co-operative Organisation (SACCOS) where they contribute even Ksh100 daily and, at the end of the day, they give one person the money so that they can buy him or her a motorcycle to do the business. There are good things in that sub-sector, but there are also bad ones. One of the bad things is the accidents. In my constituency, I have lost count of the people who have been maimed and disabled. Some have had their legs amputated due to multiple fractures after being knocked down by bodabodas. In fact, this week, a young man ended up in a mortuary after being knocked down by a bodaboda last week. Countless things have happened. When we regulate the sub-sector, we need the law enforcement agencies to ensure that"
