Operations at the West Kenya Sugar Company in Kakamega county were disrupted on Monday when boda boda operators protested the death of one of their own. The boda boda operator, popularly known as Boston Ranger, was run over by the factory’s tractor. The next morning, boda boda operators barricaded the road, while chanting dirges. They said they would not leave until the factory management listens to them. The MCAs said they will compel the company to foot the funeral expenses and compensate the deceased boda boda operator’s family.
