    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the boda boda industry has come to this country as a storm. If you may allow me, I would say that it has caught the leadership of this country and citizens off-guard because the speed at which it is growing has outlived the measures by the Government and leaders to have it running smoothly so that we can benefit and maximize its use. The boda boda industry came at a time when transport systems were problematic. Given that most of our roads in the rural areas are in a dilapidated state, the motor vehicles could not access areas in the interior parts of the country. The boda boda came in to ease that transport problem and access many corners of this country where vehicles cannot access. People were taking a lot of time and using heavy labour force to carry even simple things. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as this industry has escalated, it has come with its own teething problems which need to be addressed with better policies in mind. Measures should be put in place for citizens to benefit or maximize the effects of that industry."
