    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, coming to the uniforms for the matatu driver, I do accept that they need some order. But we cannot come to an extent where we define their colours. Probably we need to propose uniforms like we do for schools but then we leave it for the investors in that sector to decide what kind of colours their particular staff will wear. But we cannot start defining what colour the uniforms will be. That is not part of legislation. That is a function and we can leave the functions to the investors. The bottom line - my take is that I conclude that the stakeholders were not consulted. The Traffic police were not consulted. The matatu investors were not consulted. The boda boda investors were not consulted. Again, just like we do as Parliamentarians, we bring a Bill in the House without consulting the consumers of the same Bill. So, what do we do? We come and set laws and we want to impose the same laws on Kenyans. This is unworkable. With those few remarks, I oppose."
