    "content": "subsector. Hon. David Ochieng felt that the Government needed to show commitment by making sure that those who are involved in this industry are properly trained; that is where the problem lies. We have lost a lot of people and so many have been injured; some have even died. Actually, I have a friend whose name I will not mention here. He lost his mother because she boarded a boda boda and before it moved 100 meters, it got involved in an accident and she lost her life. Hon. Deputy Speaker, we need to train these boda boda riders because it is very important. Once they are trained they need to be licensed. I organized training for bodaboda riders in my constituency and only a third of them have been given driving licences because of the bureaucracy in Government. The Government needs to start devolving and decentralizing some of its functions, including licensing. There is no reason to organize to get licences from Nairobi, yet training is done down in Suba Sub-County."
