    "content": "Thank you so much, hon. Speaker. I want to thank the Leader of the Majority Party. When hon. Duale is sober, he does a good job. But most of the times, he is not sober. This time round, he is very sober and I am happy with what he has done. I also want to invite him to join us in the pitch next time. Your colleagues, hon. Kajuju and hon. Chege were there. You were the only one missing and, probably, that is why we lost. I have these clarifications to be made by hon. Duale. He said very ably that from 2006 when the Government brought down the taxes for motorcycles, there has been an exponential increase in the number of motorcycle riders. What has the Government done to ensure--- The statement is saying that NTSA will direct driving schools and so on. When will this be done? Is there a timeline? We are talking about seven years down the line. Maybe, he knows that, currently, the biggest number of accidents in this country is as a result of boda bodas. Out of the 44,000 boda boda riders indicated here, more than half of them do not have driving licences because the costs are prohibitive. Could the Government, through the Leader of the Majority Party, tell us when they will reduce the fee of acquiring a motorcycle licence? I also want a clarification on the contribution of this sector to the economy. How much is the Government ploughing back to ensure that the sector runs smoothly?"
