Busia County signs an MoU to train boda boda operators on safety. [Benard Lusigi, Standard]
In a move to restore road safety among boda boda operators, Busia County Government has agreed to provide comprehensive road safety and rider training to 2,000 boda boda operators.
The initiative, structured via a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed between the County Government, Bumbe National Polytechnic, and the Busia Boda Boda Association, marks a historic shift for the region widely recognised as the birthplace of Kenya’s multi-billion-shilling motorcycle industry.
The move was championed by Busia Governor Paul Nyongesa Otuoma. The project aims to transform the sector into a structured, economically empowered ecosystem while drastically reducing the rising curve of road traffic fatalities.
