According to Traffic Commandant Samuel Kimaru, majority of fatalities on Kenyan roads in the past few months have been made up of boda boda riders and pedestrians.

Riders have often been urged to put on helmets and other protective gear in a bid to reduce the number of fatalities in motorcycle crashes.

Nunua helmet mheshimiwa unless you need a dinner date with your ancestors.
