    "content": "The boda boda is not licensed; it does not have insurance and the boda boda person has no driving licence. I had a similar situation in my constituency. A young man who crashed and killed a school teacher had to disappear from the constituency for fear of arrest. Later on, the matter was settled through Kamba customs because there was no law applicable. Therefore, it is important that as a House we come up with a policy to address lack of road safety and make sure that all safety mechanisms and regulations are followed, so that boda bodas do not overload and protective gear is used. Hon. Deputy Speaker, there is a rising problem among boda boda riders; after some time if they do not have proper protective gear, they will be exposed to infections and chest problems. Therefore, we should make sure that they are safe. It is estimated that those who do not observe any of these regulations may not live long owing to diseases arising out of lack of safety and protection gear; we also have many cases of accidents, and many broken limbs almost in every hospital due to use of boda bodas ."
