    "content": "(a) Boda Boda operators in Mumias Constituency are not subjected by the County Council of Butere/Mumias. The Council has formulated the motorbike Boda Boda by- laws 2010, in order to control the activities of Boda Boda operators within the Council’s areas of jurisdiction as empowered by Section 201 of the Local Government Act, Cap 265. The Council levies Kshs50 per week for a Boda Boda operator, which translates to about Kshs7 per day. (b) The policy of the Ministry is that Councils should regulate and control business activities in their areas of jurisdiction and they are allowed to impose fees and charges as provided for under Section 148 of the Local Government Act, Cap.265. Each Council should strive to be self sustaining and be able to fund its development activities and offer services. (c) Since the Council started levying the charges on the Boda Boda Operators in March, 2010, so far, it has collected Kshs117,925. I would like to say that despite this, the Council has made an effort and put together funds from other sources to grade the following roads during the 2008/2009 and 2009/2010 financial years: Emuhalari- Zambezi River crossing, which is about 4.5 kilometres at a cost of Kshs2.9 million, Munanga-Eluche River crossing road, which is about 15,400 metres at a cost of Kshs2.8 million and Mululu-Mukhinaru-Chekalame Road at a cost of Kshs850,000. Also the construction of Eshirima River crossing, at a cost of Kshs2.4 million. I just want to add that the funds that are collected by local authorities are also used to help them in their other operations."
