With its emergence some years back, the bodaboda has become the fastest growing transport system in Kenya.
This is articulated to its easy affordability which has helped a lot of people be able to afford it and conduct bodaboda services. With its introduction as a form of transport in Kenya, it has been well utilised everywhere in the country from rural to urban areas. It has been effective in transport where a four wheel machine can't pass but with its two wheels, it can easily access anywhere.
Bodabodas have highly reduced the theft rates. Theft is mostly associated with lack of something to put on the table but since a bodaboda rider can afford to cater for himself and his family, he has no reason to steal.
It has also created high numbers of self-employment. A couple of young men, as well as older ones, can now engage in this business as it requires no experience but only two-month training. It has created an equal chance for empowerment for all ages and categories of people.
So if you are carried by a bodaboda heshimu kazi. Kazi ni kazi bora chakula mdomoni. However, the bodaboda industry has recorded a high number of accidents since they are recklessley driven by those who do not attend the training.
