    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I also happen to come from a very strong background called the Public Service Vehicle (PSV) sector. I have no reason to hide about that. It is a faith I professed before I became a Member of Parliament. We witnessed cases where the bus fare from Nairobi to Githurai skyrocketed from Kshs50 to Kshs200 for no apparent reasons. They knew commuters were stranded. Those who did that were just a few individuals, but it reflected badly on the whole sector. In the circumstances, we need a Bill like this to take care of such situations. I am not saying that bus fares should not be adjusted accordingly because even aircraft fares keep on being adjusted. However, these adjustments should be realistic. I am not saying that they should always be fixed, but before you board a vehicle, you need to know how much you will pay as your bus fare. They should not wait until you have gone to Roysambu, for example, to be told to pay Kshs200. Sometimes vehicles are driven towards coffee bushes to scare the commuters to pay exorbitantly."
