• 18 Oct 2018 in Senate: rider carrying a man with five children and he is on a highway. It is terrible. I believe that no one in this House has never seen a dangerous scene of a boda boda rider carrying human beings like luggage. view
• 18 Oct 2018 in Senate: As I said the other day in relation to the accident in Kericho, who would really trust his children--- Sometimes you would see a mother and three or four children sitting on a boda boda and the rider is drunk and riding fast. That is ferrying a whole family. These are some of the problems that we need to think about when we say that we want to regulate the whole sector. This is because boda bodas are not only accessible to many people, but are also putting more Kenyans and citizens of this Republic at risk. The medical costs ... view
• 18 Oct 2018 in Senate: to try to fundraise to get medical treatment for persons who have been involved in accidents. view
• 18 Oct 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the other thing is the insurance. Most of these motorcycles are supposed to carry one passenger to start with. They do not even have a specific license. Somebody buys a motorcycle pretending to be for his own use, yet he knows that he is buying a public service transport motorcycle. There is no licensing or registration place for public service transport motorcycles. Therefore, those motorcycles do not have any licenses or insurance cover. People are just riding those motorcycles around. view
• 18 Oct 2018 in Senate: Again, most of the riders are drunkards. They drink chang’aa in the village and rush to pick somebody somewhere. Those people do not even know what it means to keep left or a corner. You will find a motorcycle rider turning at a corner at a speed of 100 kilometres per hour. They do not even know how to slow at corners. Even when bumps are erected they jump over them at high speed. view
• 18 Oct 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, have you realised that the way passengers, especially women, are carried on boda bodas is very most humiliating? You will see somebody’s wife holding another man very tightly. view
• 18 Oct 2018 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 18 Oct 2018 in Senate: It is so humiliating and extremely embarrassing, and the rider just says: “Hold tighter”. If this nation can ever debate and discuss about sexual harassment, a lot of it is happening through the boda boda means of transport. It is embarrassing both in terms of how one sits with another man. In the case of two or three passengers, you will see a woman sitting in between two men; all holding each other tightly. view
• 18 Oct 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I hope you heard what I said. It is the most embarrassing means of transport. view
• 18 Oct 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just want to repeat for your knowledge and information. view
