• 18 Oct 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will repeat for your sake. One of the most embarrassing moments I have ever seen – I do not know how it escapes the definition of sexual harassment – is seeing a huge boda boda rider seated in front, somebody’s wife in between and another huge guy behind and all of them are holding tight, maybe trying to protect themselves from an accident or falling. It is extremely embarrassing. view
• 18 Oct 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to dare any male Senator here who thinks that there is no problem to volunteer their wife to be sandwiched in between two men on a motorcycle holding tightly.

• 18 Oct 2018 in Senate: The question is, how huge is huge? Sometimes you think somebody is huge but relatively, because of the environment--- A huge person in North Eastern might be your size. In Kakamega--- view

When we talk about members of the public, it includes motorcycle riders because as I told you, most of them do not own the motorcycles. They are only rented to perform the task of carrying passengers without any licenses or regulations. I have a suggestion ... view
• 18 Oct 2018 in Senate: As I conclude, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Motion is timely. I hope that the Committees for Energy and for Roads and Transportation will take it up from here and sit with the stakeholders in the sector to ensure that a proper legal – not just regulatory – framework for regulating this sector is put in place. view
