    "content": "riders are their sisters and brothers in the industry and they should at all times be co-operative with them instead of harassing these very innocent people. The bodaboda operators are also family people. They have children in primary and secondary schools and at times in the university. Therefore, it is important that adequate financial support be extended to this industry. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, you must have noticed what happened in Tunisia and is now happening in Yemen and Egypt, where the youth have risen against joblessness in their countries. It is important that we pre-empt this kind of incidents in our country. The Kenya Revenue Authority is also enjoying a lot of padding from this industry. They should return some funds to the boda boda riders through the local authorities by putting up some shelters. They should find somewhere to shelter when it rains. The passengers should also be shielded from the rain. They should be provided with a friendly atmosphere to work in. Toilets must be put up in the designated areas where those people are stationed. Finally, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, boda boda riders take our kids to primary schools or even ferry them to secondary schools. They even take the sick to hospitals. So, this is a very dignified sector and the Government must now rise up to the occasion. This is the right time to address the issues of the youth of this country if we want to maintain peace and tranquility in this land."
