Rides of Impunity | The Monitor
The boda boda industry has been a game changing means of transport since the early 2000s. Favourable government taxation policies on motorcycle imports put in place by the late former president Mwai Kibaki, led to a boom of the boda boda industry.
The move created employment and increased dependency amongst businesses and people who relied on this mode of transport for their day to day activities. But riders are now best known for careless riding and reckless manoeuvres leading to fatal road accidents and public uproar.
NTV’s Sidney Chazima looks at the boda-boda revolution on our weekly accountability segment.
When he is not litigating in courts, then he is probably giving a public lecture or seated on a panel somewhere across the continent of Africa preaching about the elusive dream of a united Africa. Kenya’s high court advocate professor PLO Lumumba is increasingly gaining traction in the continent for his passion on pan-africanism that has seen him stand out as the latter-day Kwame Nkrumah who was the champion for pan-africanism. So what drives him to be this passionate about mama Africa? What kind of Africa is his dream about and who inspires him the most?
