wrong side of the road and even if you hoot, nobody is bothered to check if that vehicle has a problem or why you are hooting. Sometimes, people are killed that way. Pedestrians, especially mothers and children, are killed mostly because of their ignorance. They do not know the rules of the game especially when they are walking on the road. This Bill is very important. We need our children to be taught that once they get to the road, they should not behave as if they are in a field where they are playing football or other games. When ...

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for that advice. In this one, we are emphasizing very much on children but children do not get into those vehicles by themselves. They are put there by grown-ups and people who know what they are doing. Those are the people who are flouting the traffic rules. So, those traffic rules should also be amended as you have put it correctly. Those boda bodas are just taxis which are supposed to be hired by a few people or one person from point “A” to point “B”. They are not matatus .

Correctly said, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. We also have to address the issue of boda bodas or piki pikis . The piki piki or boda boda menace has come as a storm in this country. It is also a very good mode of transport which is ferrying people from the interior because of the poor roads in our country. We have very many poor roads in our country.
