Monday, January 8, 2024 - A section of Boda Boda riders and Mama Mbogas has sued the Kenya Kwanza Alliance Government for using them during the presidential campaigns and later dumping them.
In their
petition before a Malindi Court, the group says President William Ruto used
them and later dumped them when he won the Presidency.
They further
argue that Ruto has subjected them to psychological trauma which has made them
have a decrease in their daily income.
“Additionally, the utterances of the Members of the 1st
Respondent political party that the current executive arm of the government of
Kenya is composed of the boda boda and mama mboga women subject the persons
engaged in boda boda and mama mboga business to psychological trauma owing to
the reduction in their source of income and hostility of the people of Kenya
who are dissatisfied with the government’s inability to bring down the cost of
living,” the petition reads.
The riders accuse the Government of
spreading a misleading narrative that suggests the current political restraints
primarily consist of boda boda and mama mboga women, a claim they vehemently
deny.
Additionally, the operators
highlight a substantial 32% loss, equivalent to Sh 426 billion, in sector
earnings due to the ongoing use of certain terms by the Government.
