The Motorists Association of Kenya (MAK) has issued a stern warning to boda boda operators following a growing trend of violence, highlighted by the recent torching of a DCI officer's vehicle in Thika, Makongeni. This incident, which occurred after two boda boda riders died in a confrontation with the officer, is part of a larger pattern of lawlessness prompting strong condemnation from MAK.

• A DCI officer's car was torched in Thika after a confrontation led to the deaths of two boda boda operators.
• The Motorists Association of Kenya (MAK) condemned the "growing excesses" and "continued harassment" by boda boda operators, including widespread disregard for traffic laws.
• The incident follows a similar event where a Super Metro bus was torched a week earlier after allegedly killing a boda boda rider, indicating a pattern of retaliatory violence.
