Bodaboda riders in Kapenguria, West Pokot County, are up in arms over increased accidents along the Kitale-Lodwar highway, which they blame on reckless and speeding truck drivers transporting clinker.

The riders, who operate along the Tartar Junction to Kamatira stretch, say the situation has become dire, with injuries and fatalities rising due to narrow roads and uncontrolled truck traffic.
