Parliament has revealed plans to proceed with the Public Transport Motorcycle Regulation Bill, 2025, which aims to regulate the boda boda sector in the country.
According to the legislature, despite Kakamega Senator, Boni Khalwale, penning a letter to the Senate's Speaker Amason Kingi, who later forwarded the proposal to the National Assembly, Moses Wetang'ula, the majority of the National Assembly gave a green light for the bill to proceed.
The Kakamega senator had sought to withdraw the bill, citing widespread public outcry regarding some of the provisions of the bill. "The bill, which aims to regulate Kenya's boda boda (motorcycle taxi) sector, was passed by the Senate but faced resistance from the public and stakeholders over certain provisions," Parliament said in a statement on Tuesday, July 22.
