This came a day after boda boda operators in Malindi burnt a Simba Coach Bus Services vehicle on Saturday after it hit a boda boda rider along the Mombasa-Malindi highway. “The driver fled after hearing the angry mob calling for the torching of the bus,” said one of the boda boda operators. Mr Muchangi said pleas to the irate boda boda operators not to burn the bus as it would be used as evidence were futile. In February last year, police arrested 24 boda boda operators following the burning of a matatu on Lang’ata Road. And in November, boda boda riders burnt at least 10 houses in Mirere village, Kakamega County, leaving more than 50 people homeless.
