Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am firmly aware that when you approved this Statement, as the Mover has done and as the point of order has demonstrated, you did not wish to introduce the issue of tribalism in our military. Segregation against men in our Constitution---

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I had just opened my mouth before my time was up. Therefore, allow me to repeat that I rise to move that the Public Transport (Motorcycle Regulation) Bill (Senate Bills No.38 of 2023) be read a second time. This is a Bill that seeks to pave way for an Act of Parliament to provide for the regulation of the boda boda industry and for connected purposes. This is an important Bill. If it becomes law, my belief is that it may be cited as a Public Transport (Motorcycle Regulation) Act. This Act shall apply to all ...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the issue of training both passengers and riders is a serious matter in this country. Many hospitals across the country have been forced to designate a particular ward purely for boda boda accident victims. When you go there, you will find the unfortunate young people who sustained these injuries hanging there, either limp up or neck put in plaster and all manner of things. This is where the law is going. To organize the boda boda industry, we must provide specifications for the registration of motorcycle riders. I propose that no person shall use a motorcycle ...

16 May 2024 in Senate:
Clause 8 is mainly the issue of cross-county recognition for registration, which I have explained. We have to appreciate that the boda boda industry is a business. Therefore, Clause 9 attempts to provide for how the boda boda riders can make a saving, either directly to the bank, but, preferably join savings and cooperative societies. The registration to join these societies has been provided for in this Clause to help young people from being exploited by unscrupulous adults. It states- “9. (1) A person who owns or operates a motorcycle for commercial purposes shall register with a Savings and Cooperative ...
