The government has responded to growing concerns over allegations that fake boda bodas were issued at President William Ruto's recent youth empowerment forum at State House in Nairobi.

The event, which was intended to support young entrepreneurs, came under strict scrutiny after some of the participants took to social media to claim that they had not received the motorcycles they were pictured with at the event.

It was alleged that some of the motorcycles distributed during the forum were never delivered to the intended beneficiaries.

One of the beneficiaries spoke to Citizen TV after a video of him asking the government to explain what had happened to the money for the boda bodas went viral.
