    "content": "Secondly, we have the issue of corruption. Owners of the vehicles make payments at roadblocks in the name of tips, so that they can be allowed to move on without any hindrance. This is resulting to corruption. There is a lot of mess in this industry. We have the capacity. I agree with the Member who has brought this Motion that there is need to regulate the fares so that Kenyans will not be exploited the way they are being exploited at the moment. There is a mess across including what is going on in terms of security. Perhaps, the Cabinet Secretary in charge does not control security organs especially the police officers who are manning the roadblocks. He may not have all the authority compared to the Cabinet Secretary in charge of Interior and Co-ordination of National Government. The other day, I lost five young people as a result of a gun just because of laxity. Up to now, there is no arrangement that the Government has in place about this. There is a bit of laziness across the Ministries. We want the Government to improve on service delivery so that things can go as expected by Kenyans. Otherwise, there is a lot of exploitation and somebody is failing. This will lead to the failure of the Big Four Agenda and we will fail the legacy of the President. The common man is being exploited and he is the one paying taxes. I, therefore, support this Motion."
