Members of the National Assembly have rejected Senator Boni Khalwale's application to withdraw his controversial Bodaboda Bill.
The Kakamega senator sought to withdraw the Public Transport (Motorcycle Regulation) Bill, Senate Bill No. 38 of 2023, a month ago, citing widespread public outcry regarding some of the provisions of the bill.
However, in its May 28 sitting, the MPs declined his application, voting for the bill to proceed to its second reading.
The Bill that seeks to introduce a regulatory framework to govern the operations of motorcycles at the county level was passed by the Senate on December 4, 2024.
