    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. This is a very important sector. So, we all support it. It is something that has just emerged voluntarily. It was not organized in order to come up. So, it is now time for us, as the leadership and the Government, to put in place mechanisms to organise the sector. In most of the hospitals, we have special wards catering for victims of motorbike accidents. I have tried to assist the operators to get licences, so that they are not bothered by the police. Insurance is also a very important issue. If we get the industry organized, it will be possible for us to find affordable insurance premium which can cover both the motorbike operators and the passengers. Occasionally, you will find that a passenger is on a motorbike and when he or she falls off, the operator just rides away. Many people have been hurt. This is a very important sector because even for us here in Nairobi, it is much easier to move around on a motorbike. I have sent somebody to the airport to deliver some mail and it is much easier to use a motorbike than a motor vehicle in the traffic jam. So, I support the Motion. This is a source of livelihood to many people. If the industry gets organized, it will be easier to operate. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
