The ban will see boda-bodas ferrying passengers drop them off in areas out of the CBD. ​The ban, which takes effect today on Tuesday, January 23 will is meant to curb the increased crime in the CBD. In a notice in a local paper, Nairobi County Governor’s office has stated that any operator or passenger found contravening this law will be arrested for an offense punishable by hefty fines and long jail terms. The notice also informs the public and boda-boda riders that there are no parking spaces for motorbikes in the CBD. They might have allowed hawkers in the CBD because they wanted votes.
