    "content": "THAT, aware that road transport is the most widely used means of transportation in Kenya; further aware that matatus, motor omnibuses and buses provide service to millions of people in a day and are the backbone of Kenya’s public road transport services; cognisant that the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) Act is mandated by law to, among other things, come up with conditions as it may consider fit for the purposes of ensuring that the fares imposed for the carrying of passengers are reasonable and ensure fair competition within the transport industry; concerned that companies, associations or Savings and Credit Co-operatives (SACCOs) under whose umbrella the said public service vehicles (PSVs) operate, and which are required to prescribe fares for its members tend to take advantage of non-existence of regulatory policies in the sector thus prescribing exorbitant fares which puts a lot of strain on commuters and customers; further concerned that for a long time, commuters have suffered at the hands of merciless PSV crews who charge exorbitant fares where on many routes, fares are hiked on reasons as flimsy as change of weather, forcing commuters to spend more than what they intended to; this House resolves that the Government develops and implements regulations on the amount of fare to be charged by PSVs for their services to protect customers from exploitation."
