    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, there is an issue of licensing. Driving licences and insurance of the same machines has been assumed. I do not know if the Traffic Department has this in mind. Those motorcycles are taken to be more of bicycles. When they appear in the market, those who buy them are not directed to know exactly what is supposed to be done. Most of them end up buying and failing to register them. Others just exchange them, sell them and other people buy them. Sometimes, it becomes like buying a shirt from the shop and, at the end of the day, motorbikes are stolen from one part of the country to another. When they are stolen, it becomes very difficult to trace them because they are not registered. Those motorbikes are now being used by people who are not good citizens of this country to commit crimes. Of late, we have had incidents where motorbikes have been used to steal. They have even been used in killings because they can always maneuver and disappear very easily. I have got several incidents in my own constituency where people ride on those motorbikes, kill somebody or steal from an Mpesa agent and vanish. But if those motorbikes are properly licensed and documented, it can be easy to trace them wherever they are. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
