• Over 6,000 youths attended the event, but fewer than 200 motorcycles were available, distributed to pre-selected individuals.
• Kelvin Mmbadi, President of the Boda Boda Association, confirmed that all riders whose names were submitted received motorcycles.
• Dennis Itumbi, Head of Presidential Special Projects and Creative Economy, clarified that motorcycles were issued to group chairmen, not individuals, as part of an official process.

• The Baba Dogo Grounds are renowned for nurturing talent, including Harambee Stars captain Michael Olunga.
