Bodaboda and tuktuk operators at Ruaka trading centre in Limuru have asked the Kiambu County government to construct parking bays for them.
The operators said they have no specific place to park their bikes as they wait for customers.
Speaking to this reporter on Wednesday, the bodaboda riders appealed to area Member of Parliament John Kiragu to push their request to the county government.
The operators said having a parking bay will improve their businesses.
“The county government should construct parking bay for bodaboda and tuktuk operators to enable us do our business efficiently,” said Peter Mburu a bodaboda operator.
Mr Mburu said most of the times they are harassed by police and council askaris over parking bays.
John Njoroge, a tuktuk operator said construction of parking bays will curb corruption alleging that they are forced to part with some money in order to secure parking at Ruaka town centre.
At the same time, the operators want the county government to construct sheds for them.
They said they are inconvenienced during rain period as they are forced to close business early.
The operators asked their leaders to present their grievances to Governor William Kabogo.
Meanwhile, the operators have lamented over the poor state of the Ruaka-Limuru road and want the county government to renovate it.
According to the operators, the road has many potholes which they say had led to their bikes breaking down often.
The operators said the poor state of the road has affected their business as their bikes consume a lot of fuel.
“The government should move with speed and start renovations and repairs of this road so that our business is not affected,” said Andrew Omuoma, a boda boda operator.
