麻豆约拍

Many Kenyans, including the president, have been left shocked by a viral video of a woman motorist in the capital Nairobi being sexually assaulted and physically and verbally abused by a group of what鈥檚 believed to be young men driving boda-bodas.

Boda Bodas are the motorbike taxis often used to ferry people and goods around in East Africa. It鈥檚 estimated there are at least 1.4 million bodas in Kenya, but it鈥檚 thought there could be many more on Kenyan roads, with many still not registered.

With the latest incident many, including President Uhuru Kenyatta, are once again calling for fresh regulations to help reform the industry.

Alan Kasujja speaks with the 麻豆约拍鈥檚 reporter in Nairobi Mercy Juma, who helps us with the background and shares her experience of boda boda riders. Together they consider whether it is possible to bring effective changes to the informal public transport industry in Kenya.
