Comedian Nasra has used her unique brand of humor to shed light on a controversial and outdated statement made by a local leader in Garissa. In a video that recently resurfaced online, the Garissa elder sparked outrage when he warned Somali girls against riding boda bodas, threatening punishment for both women passengers and their riders.

The politician, who was addressing the public in Garissa, stated: "From today, we will not allow a woman who is a Somali or a Muslim, to board a boda boda. If she is caught boarding a boda boda at the back, she and the rider should be caned. Because we do not allow it completely."
