"content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. Let me also take this opportunity to welcome the students. We are looking forward to having young leaders in the Senate. Please, learn, dream big and follow your dreams. Let nothing stop you from following your dreams. On the issue of boda bodas, we ask counties to also step in and help the riders. The most interesting thing that I once read in a newspaper – I do not remember the specific county where this was happening – about boda boda riders who had been organised into a Savings and Credit Co-operative Organization (SACCO). They have managed to save a little money and even build their own homes. This is just to show that if they are well guided, Kenyans can be extremely organised. There is no reason we should see boda bodas running amok, as if there is no method of regularizing them. As I wind up, I call upon the Senate to pass this Motion, so that we can bring order and sanity into the boda boda sector. I know that it is possible. We also want counties to come in strongly to help in this quest. This will ensure that our counties prosper more economically. Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to move and call upon Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve to second the Motion."
