    "content": "I want to give my hand in the sense that as we restructure public transport, let us work hand in hand even as Members of Parliament with the Ministry and Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing to make sure that there is restructuring of NTSA; there is introduction of competitive tendering for public transport as it will bring sanity. As it is now, perhaps they charge fares according to the need. For instance the need for the boda bodas is that they are under pressure to pay their masters. So you find a boda boda rider rushing to make as many trips as possible and hiking the fares so that they are able to pay their masters. The matatu operators do the same. Let me refer to one video clip that has been in circulation and I am sure Members have seen it. It shows a matatu driver who literally ran out of it when he was stopped by the police. I am sure he was speeding so that he does as many trips as possible so that he pays his master. At this level, if as a House we do not curb this menace, it is going to be a problem."
