Fatal Accident and Major Jam on Highways; New Regulations for Boda Boda Riders - September 2025

A driver died in a fatal head-on collision involving a matatu and two trucks on September 10 at Chimoi, along the Webuye–Eldoret highway. On Thursday, September 11, thousands of motorists were stuck for hours in a major traffic jam at the Salgaa section of the Nakuru-Eldoret Highway, disrupting transport along the key northern corridor. Meanwhile, the government is implementing new regulations for boda boda riders, including mandatory uniforms and SACCO membership, to curb lawlessness. This initiative follows a meeting between Nairobi Regional Police Commander George Seda and the National Boda Boda Association leadership.
