    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Thank you, hon. Ochieng. This is a very important Motion as it touches on an increasingly important sector in our society. I want to suggest that, that matter should be taken seriously by the Government. The Government should consider setting up a taskforce, a serious multi- sectoral and multi-departmental taskforce that will include all the relevant departments; transport, health, security. That is all the relevant departments. The taskforce should then go round the country and gather ideas, get information and do as much research as possible so that this sector can be streamlined. That can be done now rather than wait until it becomes chaotic, unyielding and impossible to streamline. I would like just to appeal to the counties, particularly those which are levying some taxes on boda boda operators that it is okay to do this. But let it be done with as much consultations as possible. I noticed recently that there is a lot of grumbling. They feel aggrieved because of the Kshs300 that is being levied. It is not even that they are not willing to pay that amount; it is just that they have not sat down, talked and agreed on the best way forward. Thank you."
