    "content": "has caused a decrease in pollution, especially within urban centres. It will be remembered that one of our biggest challenges in urban centres is actually pollution brought about by very high rates of motorization. As we all know, boda bodas do not use petrol or diesel, and that way we have reduced pollution. It would be important also that we look into the issue of carbon credits that are earned whenever we engage in activities that reduce pollution. I would like to agree with all hon. Members who have spoken before me, and request that the Government looks into the issue of manufacture of bicycles. If you look at all bicycles in their thousands they come from China, India and other countries. With the right support we believe that we will encourage some of the youth groups and upcoming entrepreneurs to set up local industries that will do manufacture and repair work, and ensure that we create employment not only directly but also indirectly through provision of spare parts. Lastly, allow me to say that as a Ministry we are in the process of ensuring that we come up with a blueprint on road safety that will also touch on the boda bodas. I know most of the issues that have been raised here, among others, will be incorporated in any future policy. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
