The Nairobi county security department has formed a multi-agency team to deal with boda bodas in the city centre. City Hall has partnered with police to enforce the ban that requires the riders to operate outside the CBD. In the last few weeks, however, boda boda riders have made their way back downtown. On April 17, police had to fire bullets to disperse a rowdy crowd that descended on them after a crackdown on rogue boda boda riders in the CBD went wrong. Boda boda Association of Kenya chairman Kevin Mubadi told the Star armed police officers and plainclothes county askaris have been taking advantage of the ban.
