Kenya is implementing major reforms in its boda boda (motorcycle taxi) sector, requiring riders to undergo fresh registration, wear distinct uniforms, and operate under accountable stage chairmen. This move aims to curb surging criminal activities and mob violence linked to the riders, following a recent spate of vehicle torching incidents.

• Riders must now belong to a registered group and have a stage chairman, who will be held accountable for incidents.
• The new registration will include a unique number indicating their county, sub-county, and passenger stage of operation.
• Nairobi Regional Police Commander George Seda emphasized that "Law is for individuals," addressing the lack of solidarity in mob justice incidents.
• Riders must possess a valid boda boda license, a certificate of good conduct, insurance, and two helmets to register.
