“At times, boda boda riders are blamed for accidents, yet in many cases reckless motorists are responsible. One of them was a boda boda mechanic who helped many riders maintain their motorcycles,” he said. As boda boda riders, we feel that many motorists do not respect us on the road, yet we also have families that depend on us,” he said. Joseph Warui, the discipline master of the Kabuta Boda Boda Association, said several complaints had previously been raised against the truck driver. Paul Maina, a boda boda rider, said one of the deceased was his long-time friend and a trusted mechanic in the area.
