*Revolutionizing the Boda Boda Industry Through Digital Boda Boda Management System: County Government and NTSA Lead the Way*

_Friday, May 15, 2026_

In a bold and transformative move, the County Government of Kitui, in partnership with the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA), has officially launched the rollout of a modern Boda Boda Management System initiative aimed at improving road safety, enhancing regulation and promoting professionalism within the boda boda sector.

Speaking during the launch held at Kitui Municipality Board room, the Chief Officer in charge of Transport and Boda Boda Peter Ketonya Musya described the initiative as a major milestone in streamlining the rapidly growing boda boda industry while creating a safer and more organized transport environment for both riders and passengers.

“For many years, the boda boda sector has operated informally despite supporting thousands of livelihoods. Through this partnership with NTSA, we are creating order, accountability, and opportunities for riders,” said the Chief Officer.

The digital management system will support the registration of boda boda operators, including rider identification, SACCO affiliation, motorcycle ownership, operating routes, and safety compliance.

NTSA officials have underscored the importance of collaboration between National and County governments in addressing challenges within the transport sector. They have noted that the management system will help improve data collection, support enforcement of traffic laws and promote responsible riding practices.

The Boda boda leaders have welcomed the move noting that through the partnership, and the power of data, the future of the Boda boda sector is being rewritten.

The County Government has reiterated its commitment to working closely with rider associations, SACCOs, security agencies, and other stakeholders to ensure the success of the program.

The one week public sensitization campaigns across the County will commence on Monday 18th May, 2026 to encourage all operators to participate in the exercise.

Also present at the event was the Director Administration Benard Mulevu.

The County Government of Kitui through Department of Transport and Boda Boda has rolled out a comprehensive verification and validation exercise targeting boda boda operators across the County in a move aimed at enhancing safety, improving service delivery, and strengthening regulation within the transport sector.

The exercise seeks to establish an accurate database of boda boda riders operating within the County through the collection and verification of biodata, including identification details, contacts, stage locations, licensed and unlicensed operators.

While he was addressing the Boda Boda executive on behalf of the Chief Officer for Transport and Boda Boda, the Director- Administration Benard Mulevu noted that the initiative is part of a broader strategy to promote order, accountability, and security in the Boda Boda industry, which plays a critical role in providing affordable and convenient transport services to residents.

"The Boda Boda sector is an important pillar of our local economy, providing employment opportunities to thousands of young people. Through this exercise, we want to ensure that operators are properly registered, identifiable, and supported to operate safely and professionally," said the Director.

As part of the initiative, the Boda Boda officials were issued with personal protective gear, including reflective jackets and helmets, aimed at promoting road safety and reducing accidents among riders and passengers.

Mr. Mulevu emphasized that the distribution of protective gear demonstrates the government’s commitment to safeguarding the welfare of boda boda operators while encouraging compliance with traffic regulations and safety standards.

On his part, Boda boda Chairman Kelvin Kivala has described the exercise as a positive step towards formalizing the sector and improving their working conditions noting that the protective equipment provided would enhance their visibility on the roads and boost passenger confidence.
