Thousands of motorists, including Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale, were stuck for hours in a major traffic jam at the Salgaa section of the Nakuru-Eldoret Highway on Thursday, September 11. The gridlock stretched for several kilometres, disrupting transport along the key northern corridor and leading to frustration among commuters.

• Senator Khalwale described the congestion as a "perennial nightmare", calling for a dual carriageway as the only solution.
• The exact cause of the traffic at Salgaa was not reported, but motorists were advised to use alternative routes such as Njoro/Molo or Kabarak-Ravine.
• This incident followed another jam on the same day along the Nairobi–Nakuru highway in the Mai Mahiu section, stretching from Mutarakwa.

The Kenyan government is implementing new regulations for boda boda riders, including mandatory uniforms and SACCO membership, to curb lawlessness and improve sector accountability. This follows a meeting between Nairobi Regional Police Commander George Seda and the National Boda Boda Association leadership in Nairobi.

• All boda boda riders will soon be required to wear county-specific uniforms and join Savings and Credit Cooperative Societies (SACCOs).
• The Boda-Boda Safety Association of Kenya (BAK), chaired by Kevin Mbadi, has partnered with lawyers to offer free legal services to aggrieved riders nationwide.
• The boda boda sector supports approximately 1.6 million riders, including nearly 1.3 million young people, making it a significant source of employment in Kenya.
