A new law is being proposed in Kenya to regulate the motorcycle taxi (boda boda) industry due to its increasing use in criminal activities. The proposal, spearheaded by Murang'a Senator Joe Nyutu, seeks to combat rising insecurity and improve accident traceability.

• Requirement for motorcycles to have a larger, more visible front number plate in addition to the rear one, aiding camera systems in identification.
• The proposal aims to reduce crime by enabling easier tracing of riders involved in incidents within two to three days.
• This initiative follows the recent killing of lawyer Kyalo Mbobu on September 9, who was attacked by two individuals on a motorcycle.
• Senator Nyutu emphasized that front number plates could have helped identify those involved in the shooting during investigations.
