President William Ruto has ordered the release of more than 9,000 boda bodas that have been held at police stations without criminal cases.
Speaking during a meeting with boda boda operators on Thursday, August 7, the President said that the Interior Principal Secretary Raymond Omollo and the Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja should ensure that the boda bodas are released within the next seven days.
According to the Head of State, the move will be vital in promoting the boda boda sector, which he asserted has played a key role in the country's economic growth. "[I] Met Boda Boda officials from all sub-counties [at] State House, Nairobi.
I gave amnesty to owners of motorcycles that have been detained at police stations and are not linked to criminal cases," Ruto stated.
