    "content": "I rise to second the Motion. Indeed, I must thank my good friend, hon. Ochieng, for coming up with this Motion. It could not have come at a better time. The way in which the Government has continued to treat the bodaboda industry - if I may call it so - is to suggest that the boda boda industry is the problem. I want to submit that boda boda is just but a symptom of a much deep-seated problem - a social and economic problem. If you went to the countryside today and in major towns, you will notice that the boda boda business is no longer a preserve of those who did not go to school. It is no longer a preserve of people who have had no chance of being exposed. You will notice that the boda boda business is now a business of people, some of whom have gone to school up to university level. Why are people who have gone to school; people who are able-bodied; people who are intelligent engaging in boda boda business? The reason is that those people are frustrated. They are frustrated because they are unable to get access to other alternative sources of gainful employment. It is a fact that the unemployment crisis in the country is reaching a boiling point."
