The Kenyan government has responded to allegations of undelivered boda bodas (motorcycles) from a youth empowerment event at State House, Nairobi, denying claims of a hoax despite participant outcry. The event, led by President William Ruto, faced scrutiny after some youths claimed motorcycles pictured with them were never delivered.

• Dennis Itumbi, Head of Presidential Special Projects and Creative Economy, stated no items were issued to individuals, but rather to 1,150 groups, each with 10 people.
• State House Spokesperson Hussein Mohamed echoed this, confirming 1,100 registered groups received funding, totaling 11,000 people empowered.
• Accusations from youths included some being told motorcycles would be delivered, but never were, and 50 others never receiving promised media items.
