    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I will be very brief. I totally support this Motion though I would have preferred if the Motion was addressed to a Committee of the Senate to look into this issue and report within 90 days. I doubt that the ministry will be able to look into this issue comprehensively as this Motion requires and report to us within 90 days. We should trust ourselves; therefore, our Committee would have done a better job and it would have even drafted regulations to regulate the operation of motorcycles. Let us not underestimate the boda boda people. I have closely associated with them and I know that most of them are doing that as a temporal measure to get money before they join the university. Therefore, they not only contribute to our economy but they also to deal with one of the major problems facing this country, which is acute unemployment. It then becomes important that the Government gives them the attention that they require. The Government should train them and also arrange for the insurance. The Government has been good at arranging insurance for other people and they should be able to arrange insurance for the boda boda people. Many Senators know that many of the harambes that we have at home are for people who have either died or have been injured as a result of accidents involving boda boda . Some of those accidents do not occur on the main roads, they occur on the rural roads. Therefore, a creation of a fund to assist such people will be needed. I know that Members want to debate another Motion. I had a lot to say on this but I will stop there. I had promised to only take one minute and I am glad that they allowed me to speak for one minute for us to go to another Business of the House."
