• Peter Mwangi has decorated his boda boda with grass making him a centre of attraction in his area of operation
• He admits that after ‘planting the grass ‘on his motorbike, he gets double what he used to get
• The former street boy also pimps other bikes at a Sh10,000 or more

Peter Mwangi Wanjama has become the centre of attraction at the city centre, thanks to his boda ya nyasi which is basically a motorcycle decorated with artificial grass.

“I’ve been in the boda boda business since 2008 and the competition is real; so when I saw my colleagues souping up their bikes, I also tried everything but nothing seemed cool,” he said.
