• 16 May 2024 in Senate: “11.(1) Every owner of a motorcycle operating for commercial purposes shall not cause or permit any person to ride their motorcycle unless such person is the holder of a valid driving licence or a valid provisional licence endorsed in respect of that class of motorcycles and a valid employment contract.” Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, why is this important? An owner must have an employment contract with the youth. It is usually very cozy and fine when business is booming, but as soon as the young rider then is involved in an accident, he is normally abandoned by the owner of ... view

• 16 May 2024 in Senate: The gear should not be carried on the arm, as some do. The helmet should be fastened on the head. The law proposes that- (d) every rider should not carry more than one person at a time;” If you go to Malinya and watch the behavior from Malinya to Kakamega, especially on a bullfighting day, a boda boda rider normally carries up to five men to enjoy bullfighting at Malinya Stadium. They want to save, so five people sit on one motorbike. I usually see it and cover my eyes. These are my strongest supporters, yet they do things that ... view
• 16 May 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the Senator for Uasin Gishu is right. However, I was reporting what I observed. If what I observed is acceptable to the law enforcers and distinguished Senators, you will make a proper suggestion. Nonetheless, I find the sitting position by the women in Kisumu County extremely risky. When the riders make a curve, and the lady is seated across the motorbike, they fall as it proceeds. I do not know how it pleases Sen. Mandago. Further- “(h) ensure that loads exceeding fifty kilograms and passengers are not carried at the same time;” This means that if ... view

• 16 May 2024 in Senate: In Rwanda, you will be impressed. You will see some of the riders who are tech moving with disposable paper towels, which they quickly put in the helmet and the passenger puts on, so that the sweat of the previous rider does not affect the current one. “(j) ensure that the rear number plates are visible at all time; (k) overtake on the right hand side and not overtake in the same lane occupied by vehicle being overtaken;” All of you in this House are drivers. Personally, one of the reasons why I never drive is because I fear the ... view

• 16 May 2024 in Senate: (2) (a) a child who is less than nine years old cannot be carried alone, but should be carried together with an adult provided that the child is seated between the rider and the adult and wears a helmet designed for children;” I invite Members to help me think around this issue because a majority of the view
• 16 May 2024 in Senate: riders carry school children to school and some of those children are below nine years and some of the parents do not have time to accompany their children to school. Members, what shall we do? For instance, you are on the road and a child who is four years old is on the bike alone carried by the boda boda rider, so when an accident happens, invariably that child is thrown off and the child loses their life. Perhaps, as a doctor, I would say that we should create a seat belt that should wrap the child at the back ... view
