Poor eyesight, coupled with a lack of training, has been cited as a major cause of the increasing number of accidents involving boda boda operators across the country. This follows worrying statistics showing that by the end of September this year, Kenya had recorded 3,586 road fatalities, compared to just over 3,000 during the same period last year. According to Samuel Mbeche from Sight Aid International, poor vision among motorcyclists continues to be a leading contributor to road fatalities nationwide. Mbeche led a free eye check-up for boda boda riders in Naivasha during a road safety awareness campaign organised in partnership with Inchcape Kenya, NTSA, and Post Bank, aimed at addressing safety concerns within the rapidly growing sector.
Speaking during the event, Maryanne Gathogo, the Managing Director of Inchcape Kenya, said the company had provided over 200 riders with high-quality safety gear in an effort to curb rising fatalities.
