As Kenyans continue to feel the pinch of increased fuel prices, some boda boda operators have modified their motorcycles to use Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG).

Jeff Kinuthia, who operates at the Nyeri Town stage, is among 40 riders who have gone for the cheaper alternative. With the modification, he refills the 3kg cylinder for Sh500 weekly, the amount he says he spent per day on fuel.
