Boda boda operators are now mulling the establishment of their own insurance agency, among other measures, in the wake of the rising cases of motorcycle thefts in the country.

Under the aegis of the Boda Boda Association of Kenya (BAK), operators are also considering building a tracking system, which will be integrated into a new platform capturing the key details of all riders in the country.
