Boda boda riders in Kenya are threatening nationwide demonstrations if the government proceeds with the proposed motorcycle regulation bill, which they deem retrogressive and punitive. The Boda Boda Safety Association of Kenya voiced their strong opposition before the Parliamentary Committee on Transport, arguing the bill is fundamentally flawed.

• The proposed bill includes establishing 47 county-level Motorcycle Transport and Safety Boards and mandating SACCO membership, which riders fear will increase costs and corruption.
• The Boda Boda Safety Association of Kenya argues the bill duplicates the existing mandate of the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) and undermines county government roles.
• MPs like Bureti MP Komingoi Kibet encouraged riders to propose amendments rather than reject the bill outright, while others highlighted the increasing use of motorcycles in criminal activities.
