President Ruto highlighted that approximately two million motorbikes, predominantly known as “boda bodas” or two-wheeler taxis, are currently operational in Kenya, a mode of transport prevalent throughout Africa. He cautioned about the rising usage of such vehicles across Africa, noting its potential detrimental impact on climate change and air purity. Their vision encompasses the potential deployment of over a million electric vehicles in Kenya.
