    "content": "Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute on this Motion. Madam Temporary Speaker, many of our boda boda riders are not disciplined. It is high time we reinforced discipline in this sector. The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) and SACCOS have failed to enforce these important regulations. It is sad that smugglers, thieves and murderers are using boda bodas to do their business. That is why some of them are indisciplined; because they are being supported by these crooks. As much as we appreciate them because they have made our transport manageable, we expect them to behave in a certain civilized manner. Madam Temporary Speaker, many hospitals in this country have established wards for boda boda accident victims. As I said, it is high time we enforced discipline on our roads. We cannot allow them to continue disregarding other road users with impunity. Most of them do not have licenses, insurance, helmets and so on. The rich in the society are taking advantage of our youths. They buy them motorbikes and expect them to do business for them. They have even set targets of money they expect from them daily. That is why they ride those bikes with a lot of impunity because they want to make their ends meet and have something to take to the owners of the motorbikes. It is a high time the enforcement officers in this circle or the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) work around the clock in its framework for the boda boda riders to get quality training, license, Public Service Vehicle (PSV) licence and insurance for lives to be saved."
